bug#64982: Closing

[Andreas Enge]

Hello Denis,

thanks for the patch! This was fixed in commit

    gnu: libressl: Update to 3.7.3 [fixes CVE-2023-35784].
    Thanks to Dennis 'GNUtoo' Carikli for <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64982>,
    but upgrading to 3.8.0 breaks (at least) OpenSMTPd.
    * gnu/packages/tls.scm (libressl): Update to 3.7.3.

Indeed QA shows that opensmtpd fails:

   https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/build/16cbfca4-a0a3-4374-9ae4-6c1dad67494b/log

I am closing this bug, as updating libressl to the most recent version
is a different topic. Actually the 3.8.0 and 3.8.1 releases are called
"development releases" in the release notes:
   https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-3.8.0-relnotes.txt
   https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-3.8.1-relnotes.txt
while 3.7.3 does not have the "development" term:
   https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-3.7.3-relnotes.txt
so we may be better off sticking with 3.7.x for the moment.

Andreas
