OpenSSL is an open-source cryptographic toolkit primarily used for secure communications, SSL/TLS protocol implementations, and certificate management. It supports multiple cryptographic algorithms and is widely used in servers and applications. Recently, OpenSSL released a security update to address a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2025-15467, CVSS: 9.8). This is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that may cause abnormal program termination, leading to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and may even result in remote code execution.
