Humbly requesting backporting OpenSSL 3.0.5-2ubuntu2 from kinetic to
jammy.

[Impact]

From the OpenSSL 3.0 migration guide:
(https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man7/migration_guide.html)

"Secure renegotiation is now required by default for TLS connections

Support for RFC 5746 secure renegotiation is now required by default for
SSL or TLS connections to succeed. Applications that require the ability
to connect to legacy peers will need to explicitly set
SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT. Accordingly, SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT
is no longer set as part of SSL_OP_ALL."

------------

OpenSSL 3.0.2 doesn't allow you to enable UnsafeLegacyServerConnect in
the openssl.cnf file. The OpenSSL team documented this option but forgot
to implement it (https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/18296).

Users are recommending enabling UnsafeLegacyRenegotiation (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1960268/comments/32)
(see more examples in "Other Info")

When this is enabled, it makes OpenSSL 3 less secure than 1.1.1 (which
is what the previous LTS, Focal, uses).

Backporting the newer OpenSSL 3.0.5 would allow users to enable
UnsafeLegacyConnect, while keeping UnsafeLegacyRenegotiation disabled.

[Scope]

Backport OpenSSL 3.0.5-2ubuntu2 from kinetic

Backport to jammy
