Bug Fix(es):

  • Backport implicit rejection mechanism for RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 to RHEL-9.2.z (RHEL-14578, BZ#2153471)
  • OpenSSL should provide FIPS-compliant RSA-OAEP (RHEL-14616)
  • NIST SP 800-56Arev3 Section 5.6.2.1 - Missing ECDH Public Key Check (RHEL-15992)
  • In FIPS mode, OpenSSL must not perform any cryptographic operations when rsa_keygen_pairwise_test fails (RHEL-17110)
