## Overview

The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions. This issue makes the RSA implementation with 2048 bit private keys incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will happen during the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker may be able to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing the computation. SSL/TLS servers or other servers using 2048 bit RSA private keys running on machines supporting AVX512IFMA instructions of the X86_64 architecture are affected by this issue.

## Affected

- `openssl = 3.0.4`
- `snapcenter`
- `h410c_firmware`
- `h300s_firmware`
- `h500s_firmware`
- `h700s_firmware`
- `h410s_firmware`

## Remediation
