Fedora Linux 37 update - Fedora Magazine
Fedora Linux 37 is going to be late; very late. Here’s why. As you may have heard, the OpenSSL project announced a version due to be released on Tuesday. It will include a fix for a critical-severity bug. We won’t know the specifics of the issue until Tuesday’s release, but it could be significant. As a result, we decided to delay the release of Fedora Linux 37. We are now targeting a release day of 15 November.

A Fedora 37 release-date slip [LWN.net]
Fedora releases have traditionally happened later than their target date, though the project has done better on that score in recent years. Ben Cotton has announced in Fedora Magazine that the upcoming Fedora 37 release, initially planned for October 25, won't be happening until November 15. The immediate cause is an impending OpenSSL update which fixes a vulnerability described as "critical".

Critical OpenSSL vulnerability severely delays Fedora Linux 37
Fedora 37 was due to be released before the end of October, but if you expected to have the Linux-based operating system by Halloween, you will be very disappointed. You see, due to a critical bug in OpenSSL, the Fedora developers are halting the release until November 15 at the earliest.
The patched version of OpenSSL will come out on November 1, so the developers are targeting November 15 as a realistic date to have Fedora 37 tested and ready to go. Of course, it could end up being even later than that.
Ben Cotton, Fedora Program Manager, shares a blog post about the delay here. We share the most pertinent part of his statement below.

Fedora 37 Release Delayed Due to Critical OpenSSL Vulnerability
The upcoming Fedora 37 release is delayed further due to critical OpenSSL Vulnerability.
Fedora 37 is the upcoming final release of Fedora Linux this year. It was initially planned to be released on October 18, 2022. There were several bugs which affected its delay so far.
Now a critical security issue in OpenSSL delayed it further. It is now planned for November 15, 2022.

Fedora 37 Release Has Been Postponed for the Second Time
Due to an OpenSSL vulnerability, Fedora Linux 37 has been postponed with a new release date.
The postponement of Fedora’s releases is not something new that can surprise the devotees of this popular Linux distro. But, unfortunately, when it comes to Fedora, this has gone from episodic to more of a pattern.
The story is nearly identical to that of Fedora 36, which was released about six months ago and was delayed twice before arriving almost a month later than the initially planned date.
While some GNOME components caused the delay, it is now due to an identified and unpatched OpenSSL vulnerability. Here’s what it’s all about.

Oh No! Fedora 37 Release Gets Delayed
The Fedora team usually targets an early release and a delayed date for their schedule.
This time around, Fedora 37 is getting pushed back with an unexpected delay. From a release target date of 18th October to 25th October, and then 1st November.
Now, we have to wait until 15 November 2022 to download Fedora 37 available.
But why the delay? Isn't the testing complete for Fedora 37? What is the hold-up?
OpenSSL has announced a new version that addresses a critical security bug. The new version is scheduled to release on November 1, 2022. Until the release, Fedora's team is unaware of the details regarding the security fix. It could be significant, so Red Hat recommends waiting for it before releasing Fedora 37.
