The OpenSSL project has announced two security vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2022-3602 and CVE-2022-3786. The good news is that these vulnerabilities are unlikely to facilitate remote code execution as originally anticipated, and only OpenSSL version 3.0.0 and later are impacted. The bad news, however, is that even though the remote control is unlikely, it’s still possible.
On November 1, OpenSSL v3.0.7 was released, patching two new high-severity vulnerabilities: CVE-2022-3602 and CVE-2022-3786.

Hi there Ruby developers! If you’ve been looking for an effective way to establish a Ruby on Rails Docker setup for your local development environment, then this post is for you. It’s a continuation of our previous article on how to install Ruby in a macOS for local development. Ruby developers frequently need to account for a database when building a Ruby on Rails project, as well as other development environment prerequisites.
OpenSSL has released two high severity vulnerabilities — CVE-2022-3602 and CVE-2022-3786 — related to buffer overrun. OpenSSL initially rated CVE-2022-3602 as critical, but upon further investigation, it was reduced to high severity.
In cybersecurity, three key terms are vulnerability, threat and risk. Often they’re tossed around interchangeably, but they have a specific relationship to one another..
