Update OpenSSL (September 2026) #158010

Description

@zware

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

OpenSSL has updated releases, including 3.5.9 and (not publicly available) 3.0.23. The highest vulnerability level in this set is "high" and it is not clear that we are directly impacted, but we should update before the next round of our releases anyway.

OpenSSL 3.0 (still used by 3.13) is now EOL, so we will need to update 3.13 binaries to 3.5 as well, with RM @Yhg1s's understandably begrudging agreement obtained on Discord. I'll be going ahead with that update (to 3.5.8) before the new releases are available to give us as much time as possible to work out any issues arising from that and to make backporting the 3.5.8->3.5.9 update as smooth as possible.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
