    Stanislav Fort discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when trying to decrypt CMS messages
    encrypted with password-based encryption. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
    service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-9230)

    Stanislav Fort discovered that OpenSSL had a timing side-channel in SM2 signature computations on ARM
    platforms. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to recover private data. This issue only
    affected Ubuntu 25.04. (CVE-2025-9231)

    Stanislav Fort discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled memory during HTTP requests when no_proxy
    environment variable is set. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This
    issue only affected Ubuntu 25.04. (CVE-2025-9232)

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