Question

Ubuntu 14 - SSH stopped working after updating openssl

Posted October 28, 2018 5.7k views

I ran the usual update sequence of apt update && apt upgrade && apt-dist upgrade and right after that my script has a routine that makes a git pull and then backs its runtime logs up by pushing to git, and that right from that update stopped working with error:

139890995726016:error:25066067:DSO support routines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library:dso_dlfcn.c:185:filename(libssl_conf.so): libssl_conf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
139890995726016:error:25070067:DSO support routines:DSO_load:could not load the shared library:dso_lib.c:244:

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

The bigger problem is I now cannot ssh into my server.

What can I do? Please help!

Is the server lost?

This is the SSL relevant apt-upgrade section:

    Did you try using the console from the control panel to access your server?

    That does not solve the problem.

    I mean, I am still logged in with that session it didn’t kick me out. I just don’t understand what happened and how to restore my SSH access. The server needs to be managed, it is used by a business.

    This is definitely an issue with open ssl 1.1.1 I am getting exactly the same issue on 14.04.1 after a apt dist-upgrade

    Cannot roll back as the old version is no longer available in the packages.

    Can we please get the old version (1.1.0h) be available so we can downgrade?

    I’ve got error trying to execute:

    $ sudo apt install openssl=1.1.0h-2.0+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '1.1.0h-2.0+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1' for 'openssl' was not found

    I had to run first:

    $ apt-cache policy openssl
openssl:
  Installed: 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.26
  Candidate: 1.1.1-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+0.1
  Version table:
 *** 1.1.1-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+0.1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/apache2/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
     1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.26 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.0.1f-1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

    Then I downgrade openssl to 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.26 running the following command:

    $ sudo apt-get install openssl=1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.26

    Finally:

    $ sudo service ssh restart

    :)

    we have to wait for the new corrected package…

Not solved but cannot edit anymore: it appears the new packages are buggy (updated on the Sury repository 14 hours ago). Downgrading openssl and libssl1.1 to previous versions returned git to fucntion, still no ssh.

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1  11 Sep 2018
$ sudo apt install openssl=1.1.0h-2.0+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
$ openssl version
=> OpenSSL 1.1.0h  27 Mar 2018 (Library: OpenSSL 1.1.1  11 Sep 2018)
This fixed git.

edit:

Downgrading everything openssl-related and restarting SSH solves the issue.

In case someone lands here, all the previous versions of packages are logged in /var/log/apt/history.log

libssl1.1:amd64 (1.1.0h-2.0+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, 1.1.1-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+0.1)
libssl-dev:amd64 (1.1.0h-2.0+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, 1.1.1-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+0.1)
libssl-doc:amd64 (1.1.0h-2.0+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, 1.1.1-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+0.1)
openssl:amd64 (1.1.0h-2.0+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, 1.1.1-1+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+0.1)

and then sudo service ssh restart

Correct open ports:
