Workaround broken openssl 3.5.7-1 on EL9#1962
Merged

Conversation
openssl-3.5.7-1.el9 has an ASN.1 regression (clean EOF at an object boundary raises ASN1_R_NOT_ENOUGH_DATA instead of succeeding), which breaks any TLS client relying on that behavior -- e.g. ansible's uri module and dnf/rpm HTTPS fetches. Exclude the broken build and pin to the last known-good NVR until the upstream fix (openssl/openssl#31818) merges and ships in a CentOS Stream 9 release. See: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-192424

openssl-3.5.7-1 on EL9 breaks TLS handling (RHEL-192424). Exclude the broken build via dnf.conf and force a downgrade to the last known-good NVR, following the same approach used in forklift (theforeman/forklift#1962) and foremanctl (theforeman/foremanctl#632).
