Security Issue in Openssl files

Open zeiseiwogn opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

Hello, the used files from Openssl in PacketSender Version v8.8.9 have an security issue. c:\program files\packetsender\libssl-3-x64.dll - Version: 3.0.15.0 c:\program files\packetsender\libcrypto-3-x64.dll - Version: 3.0.15.0 Updates from Openssl are aviable. So please update the files in your next Version of PacketSender.

Best Regards Christian

I typically just use the OpenSSL library provided to me by the GUI engine. It seems they have not updated it in a few years. If there is still no update by the time I am ready to make a new release, I will investigate compiling OpenSSL from source.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Just an FYI... you can delete those DLLs and Packet Sender will fallback to using the SSL libraries provided by Windows (called "Secure Channel").
