    * openssl: QUIC server may trigger double free when processing INITIAL packet (CVE-2026-18798)

    * openssl: heap buffer overflow in CMS key unwrapping (CVE-2026-63072)

    * openssl: invalid pointer dereference in CMP server via crafted protectionAlg (CVE-2026-63076)

    * openssl: RPK server signature algorithm selection can dereference a missing certificate (CVE-2026-14457)

    * openssl: excessive memory use buffering DTLS records for a future epoch (CVE-2026-54874)

    * openssl: untrusted sender DN used as format string in CMP response validation (CVE-2026-63073)
