Hello, I know, it might look as i replaced Ubuntu OpenSSL packages with Ondrej's OpenSSL package. But i didnt. And here is a big problem for a lot of people. Please link: https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/1512
When regular user of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS want to install PHP7.4 pretty much only way is to add ppa:ondrej/php and after that install PHP7.4. But after ppa:ondrej/php added, for some reason it replaces Ubuntu OpenSSL packages with Ondrej's OpenSSL packages. A lot of guides in Internet describe how to install PHP7.4 via "ppa:ondrej/php", so i believe this issue affect a lot of people/companies, which run public facing webservers with PHP7.4 and Ubuntu 18.04. I would be really grateful if someone with expertise and knowledge could check Github link (https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/1512), and advice (or just post their thoughts) about this situation. Thank you. ** Bug watch added: github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues #1512 https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/1512 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908733 Title: CVE-2020-1971 OpenSSL package upgrade issue Status in openssl package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Hello, I have tested it on 4 vurtual machines (details below): # uname -a Linux web2 4.15.0-128-generic #131-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 9 06:57:35 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Release: 18.04 $ apt-cache policy openssl openssl: Installed: 1.1.1g-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 Candidate: 1.1.1g-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 Version table: *** 1.1.1g-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 500 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/apache2/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.1.1g-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 500 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.7 500 500 http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 Packages 1.1.0g-2ubuntu4 500 500 http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages My OpenSSL version is: openssl 1.1.1g-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 I wanted to install patch to fix "CVE-2020-1971" on my virtual machines.

Normal (expected?) behaviour for me (in my case) is to do next: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade After this all packages in my system should be upgraded to latest versions.
