There is currently a problem with the accessibility of the wordpress.org server for some connections. The meta team is already working on this. Just try again later.
There’s a slack thread in the WordPress meta slack channel about a similar curl issue when downloading plugins. Is that related @threadi? https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02QB8GMM/p1712238800563129
Yes, that’s exactly what it looks like, I would say.
@threadi can you confirm if there’s an issue on the wordpress.org servers? Reading through the above slack thread, it says that there’s no issue on the wordpress.org side. Please can you clarify?
I only read what you read and I don’t know any more than is written there. It seems that the problem is not wordpress.org but the routing of the packages there. Therefore it is not a general problem but only depends on the internet access from which the request comes. At least that’s how I interpret it.

cURL error 77 stands for SSL certificate verification error,
@vikram6 its nothing related to network availability of wordpress.org servers (like in your case)
error 77 can happen with OLD SSL versions , which cannot verify signatures for certificate using other certificates if first one in bundle fails.
You can play around with replacing certificate bundle for your WordPress install with recent one (or upgrade WordPress to recent version)

ca bundle file (to replace): https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-includes/certificates/ca-bundle.crt
permanent solution – Upgrade OpenSSL on your server
