Amazon Linux 2023: CVE-2024-2511: Medium priority package update for openssl

Issue summary: Some non-default TLS server configurations can cause unbounded
memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions
Impact summary: An attacker may exploit certain server configurations to trigger
unbounded memory growth that would lead to a Denial of Service
This problem can occur in TLSv1.3 if the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option is
being used (but not if early_data support is also configured and the default
anti-replay protection is in use). In this case, under certain conditions, the
session cache can get into an incorrect state and it will fail to flush properly
as it fills. The session cache will continue to grow in an unbounded manner. A
malicious client could deliberately create the scenario for this failure to
force a Denial of Service. It may also happen by accident in normal operation.
This issue only affects TLS servers supporting TLSv1.3. It does not affect TLS
clients.
The FIPS modules in 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. OpenSSL
1.0.2 is also not affected by this issue.
A flaw was found in OpenSSL. A malicious client can trigger an uncontrolled memory consumption, resulting in a Denial of Service. This issue occurs due to OpenSSL's TLSv3.1 session cache going into an incorrect state, leading to it failing to flush properly as it fills. OpenSSL must be configured with the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option enabled to be vulnerable. This issue only affects TLSv1.3 servers, while TLS clients are not affected.
