openssl+quic (quictls) 3.0.16 rpms released

openssl+quic (quictls) 3.0.16 rpms released and added to all supported platforms.

OpenSSL 3.0.16 is a security patch release.

This release incorporates the following bug fixes and mitigations:

Fixed timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computation. (CVE-2024-13176)

Fixed possible OOB memory access with invalid low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve parameters. (CVE-2024-9143)

OpenSSL+quic builds

We started providing builds for OpenSSL+quic project (Akamai and Microsoft initiative) for EL7/EL8. This will allow us to have NGINX HTTP/3 (ex-QUIC) support. libs package does not conflict with bundled OpenSSL libs: so-libs files version is prefixed with “81.”: libssl.81.1.1 and libcrypto.81.1.1 instead of bundled libssl.1.1 and libcrypto.1.1.

To install you can run: dnf install openssl-quic-libs

Devel package is also available: openssl-quic-devel.

Should we build next mainline nginx against OpenSSL tls1.3-draft-18 branch (that adds TLS v1.3 support)?

One question here.

Should we build next mainline nginx against OpenSSL tls1.-draft-18 branch? Stable 1.10 won’t be affected.

Please share your thoughts in comments.
