How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:8 openssl-libs to version 2:1.1.1k-7.ksplice1.el8_6 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2022-9683.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl-libs package and not the openssl-libs package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimised implementation will not encrypt the entirety of the data under some circumstances. This could reveal sixteen bytes of data that was preexisting in the memory that wasn't written. In the special case of "in place" encryption, sixteen bytes of the plaintext would be revealed. Since OpenSSL does not support OCB based cipher suites for TLS and DTLS, they are both unaffected. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.5 (Affected 3.0.0-3.0.4). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1q (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1p).
