OpenSSL 3.0.8 in latest Nuget release
Description
The Nuget packet still uses the 3.0.8 version of OpenSSL even though an upgrade to 3.0.12 was done in version 2.4.0 of librdkafka. Vulnerability scanners then report vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2023-5363.
How to reproduce
dotnet new console dotnet add package librdkafka.redist --version 2.5.0 dotnet build
Vulnerable versions are in the following directories (libcrypto.dll and libssl-3.dll):
- bin/Debug/net8.0/librdkafka\x64
- bin/Debug/net8.0/librdkafka\x86
- bin/Debug/net8.0/runtimes\win-x64\native
- bin/Debug/net8.0/runtimes\win-x86\native
Checklist
- [x] librdkafka version (release number or git tag):
v2.5.0 - [x] Operating system:
Windows 10
That's only for Windows because we use the LTS version of OpenSSL 3.0.x and that's not updated in vcpkg https://vcpkg.io/en/package/openssl we can think about using the non-LTS version for window packaging.
Do you have any idea why 3.0.12 was not added to vcpkg? Maybe we should raise that issue with them.
Hi, is there a plan to address this security issue? If yes, may I know when will the fix be merged into master?
There is a reason why 3.0.12 is not present in vcpkg, see the upstream issue in vcpkg here: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/39417 . I don't think there's a plan by the maintainers to add 3.0.12 or 3.0.13 to vcpkg.
We'll internally discuss what we can do.
Thanks @milindl. I understand the issue better now. Can you help to update once you guys have a plan. Thanks again.
