What happened

OpenSSL published security patch releases 4.0.3, 3.6.5, 3.5.9, and 3.4.8 on September 29, 2026. The releases address multiple high-severity issues affecting DTLS, QUIC, X.509, certificate processing, elliptic-curve cryptography, SM2, TLS handshakes, and CMP. Fixes include denial-of-service conditions, potential memory-safety vulnerabilities, timing side channels, and out-of-bounds access. Organizations using affected OpenSSL branches should upgrade to the corresponding patched release.
