The OpenSSL project team would like to announce the upcoming release of
OpenSSL versions 3.5.4, 3.4.3, 3.3.5, 3.2.5 and 3.0.18.

We will be also releasing extended support OpenSSL versions 1.0.2zm and
1.1.1zd which will be available to premium support customers.

These releases will be made available on Tuesday 30th September 2025
between 1300-1700 UTC.

These are security-fix releases. The highest severity issue fixed in
each of these releases is Moderate:

I forwarded the information internally, and a colleague asked for more details. I said there weren't any at the moment, and within 15 minutes he had replied pointing at the commit that is almost certainly the cause of this release. Given it is so easy to find, is there any point in being so coy about what the problem is?

The details of the issues this release addresses, and the associated fixes, have not been made public at this time and are not in the git repository. They will be made public next week.

Not really. The fixes for the security issues that will be released
with these upcoming versions are NOT present in the public github
repository of openssl. They will be merged only immediately before the
release is done.

We never merge fixes of issues with higher severity than Low to the
repository ahead of the release. And the security fixes always refer to
the CVE id of the fixed issue.

I would be interested to know which commit your colleague identified as
fixing a security issue. Most likely it is a fix for an issue that we
did not classify as security issue accoring to our security policy [1].
However if you reply to me privately with the concrete commit, I will
verify that there is no additional fix that should be classified as a
security issue.

This is the right answer!  Thanks for the clarification.
