Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for openssl.

CVE-2024-2511[0]:
| Issue summary: Some non-default TLS server configurations can cause
| unbounded memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions  Impact
| summary: An attacker may exploit certain server configurations to
| trigger unbounded memory growth that would lead to a Denial of
| Service  This problem can occur in TLSv1.3 if the non-default
| SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option is being used (but not if early_data support
| is also configured and the default anti-replay protection is in
| use). In this case, under certain conditions, the session cache can
| get into an incorrect state and it will fail to flush properly as it
| fills. The session cache will continue to grow in an unbounded
| manner. A malicious client could deliberately create the scenario
| for this failure to force a Denial of Service. It may also happen by
| accident in normal operation.  This issue only affects TLS servers
| supporting TLSv1.3. It does not affect TLS clients.  The FIPS
| modules in 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. OpenSSL
| 1.0.2 is also not affected by this issue.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
