You need to report a bug by the vendor of the security scanner tool.
--- sure will check once with the BD tool as well=20

<br>&gt; &gt; Hello Raghu,

<br>&gt; &gt; There are multiple problems with your tool.
<br>&gt; &gt;=20
<br>&gt; &gt; 1. It is misidentifying the version of libssl. Please note th=
at the
<br>&gt; &gt; presence of OPENSSL_3.3.0 in the version table of libssl.so.3=
 does
<br>&gt; &gt; NOT
<br>&gt; &gt; indicate that libssl is from the 3.3.0 release.
<br>&gt; &gt;=20
<br>&gt; &gt; 2. (This is less of a problem of the tool as the tool might h=
ave
<br>&gt; &gt; hard
<br>&gt; &gt; time to know.) The fix for CVE-2026-15467 is solely applying =
to
<br>&gt; &gt; libcrypto.so.3, there is no change in libssl.so.3 in regards =
to
<br>&gt; &gt; this
<br>&gt; &gt; issue.
<br>&gt; &gt;=20
<br>&gt; &gt; I do not think this has ever changed. libssl AFAIK never cont=
ained
<br>&gt; &gt; a
<br>&gt; &gt; full OpenSSL version string. If you want, you can suggest an
<br>&gt; &gt; enhancement in our public GitHub repository that we should in=
clude
<br>&gt; &gt; a
<br>&gt; &gt; full version string not just in libcrypto but also in libssl.
