Description

question

We(Photon OS) see that the current version of openssl used in shim is 1.0.2k and there are open CVEs on this version. We understand that all the reported CVEs on 1.0.2k+ might not be applicable to shim given the limited code and interfacing. The 1.0.2 series only has premium support and most distributions are moving to openssl 3.0.

Are there any plans to migrate shim to use openssl 3.0?
