CVE-2022-2068  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-78  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 libopenssl3 to version 3.0.1-150400.4.7.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libopenssl3 package and not the libopenssl3 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

In addition to the c_rehash shell command injection identified in CVE-2022-1292, further circumstances where the c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection were found by code review. When the CVE-2022-1292 was fixed it was not discovered that there are other places in the script where the file names of certificates being hashed were possibly passed to a command executed through the shell. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.4 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1,3.0.2,3.0.3). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1p (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1o). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zf (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2ze).
