+Subject: [PATCH] SSL: synced all session ticket keys to the worker process
+
+The per-worker ticket key mirror is allocated with three slots
+(ngx_array_push_n(keys, 3)), matching the shared memory
+ticket_keys[3] array and the decrypt callback, which scans all
+keys->nelts slots by key name.  Key rotation, however, synced
+only two slots from shared memory, leaving the third slot's
+name, hmac_key, and aes_key uninitialized.
+
+A ticket whose key name matched the uninitialized slot (which
+holds unspecified pool memory, all zero in the best case) could
+therefore be HMAC-verified and decrypted with uninitialized key
+material, allowing a forged session.
+
+Sync all keys->nelts slots, as ngx_ssl_ticket_keys_cleanup()
+already assumes.
+
+Reported by PhiNode Labs.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-97629
