USN-5051-2 advisory.

    USN-5051-1 fixed a vulnerability in OpenSSL. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu
    14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

    Original advisory details:

    Ingo Schwarze discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain ASN.1

    strings. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash,

    resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information.

    (CVE-2021-3712)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
