    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain certificate revocation list distribution point
    names. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume excessive memory, resulting
    in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-35189)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled QUIC unvalidated amplification credit accounting. An
    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04
    LTS. (CVE-2026-35191)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly implemented scalar multiplication for non-NIST elliptic curves.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and obtain sensitive
    information. (CVE-2026-54872)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly implemented SM2 scalar multiplication on ARM64 and RISC-V
    architectures. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and
    obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-54875)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled SSL context switching during a TLS handshake. An
    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause an out-of-bounds read, resulting in a denial of service or
    obtaining sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-72897)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly enforced QUIC connection- level flow control for streams. An
    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume excessive memory, resulting in a denial
    of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-75804)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled a NULL pointer in CMP client revocation response
    processing. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-75805)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled undersized DTLS 1.2 AEAD records before authentication.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-75806)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly implemented SM2 signature generation. An attacker could
    possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2026-77696)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled DTLS retransmission of handshake messages. An attacker
    could possibly use this issue to cause incorrect handshake behavior or a denial of service.
    (CVE-2026-84782)

    It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled QUIC RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frames. An attacker could
    possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume excessive memory, resulting in a denial of service.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-84784)
