![]() ![]() However this is not guaranteed and some changes may be required in some cases. It is the intention that the large majority of applications will work unchanged with OpenSSL 3.0 if those applications previously worked with OpenSSL 1.1.1. OpenSSL 3.0 is a major release and consequently any application that currently uses an older version of OpenSSL will at the very least need to be recompiled in order to work with the new version. OPENSSL 3.0 Main Changes from OpenSSL 1.1.1 Major Release ![]() For an overview of some of the key concepts introduced in OpenSSL 3.0 see crypto(7). This guide details the changes required to migrate to new versions of OpenSSL. See the individual manual pages for details. Yes, in theory you could look at the source diffs for the 1.1.1 fixes and try to apply them to the 1.0.2k CentOS 7 source, but it's all messy and you're not guaranteed that 1.1.1 fixes can be easily backported to 1.0.2 anyway.Migration_guide - OpenSSL migration guide SYNOPSIS So if Red Hat don't fix it for RHEL 7, we won't see official CentOS 7 fixes either and with no free download of a fixed 1.0.2 release from, there will be no "official" way to get a fix for the 8 vulnerabilities, even though RHEL 7/CentOS 7 still have over a year of support left. If you want a fixed 1.0.2 release from, you have to pay them $50,000 a year (I kid you not). The problem is that there's 8 security vulnerabilities that have been fixed with the latest OpenSSL 3.0.8 and 1.1.1t releases, but there is no "free" fix for any 1.0.2 release (which is what RHEL 7/CentOS 7 uses). RHEL 7 is in its "Maintenance Support 2" tier until 30th June 2024 and it looks like that particular CVE, though rated "high" by, was downgraded to "moderate" by Red hat because the vulnerability only occurs if you modify the way it handles certificate revocation lists (which RHEL's implementation doesn't). ![]()
