CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : openssl
SUMMARY : Last update fix
DATE : 2002-08-08 15:13:00
ID : CLA-2002:516
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 6.0, 7.0, 8

DESCRIPTION
OpenSSL implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport
Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as full-strength general
purpose cryptography functions. It's used (as a library) by several
projects, like Apache, OpenSSH, Bind, OpenLDAP and many others
clients and servers programs.
In the last update announcement[1]: CLSA-2002:513 from 07/31/2002,
the fix for the ASN.1 string parsing did not fully eliminate the
vulnerability. This new update includes the fixes from the openssl
development version[2] (CVS).
Aditionally, a fix for an integer overflow[2] check which was not in
conformity with the C ANSI specification was incorporated.
SOLUTION
All openssl users should upgrade.
Please notice that in order to complete the upgrade process, you must
restart all running aplications that are linked to openssl libraries
after the new packages are installed. You can see a list of such
applications using the lsof utility, as seen below:
# lsof | egrep '(libcrypto|libssl)'
Services (like apache and openssh daemons) can be restarted using the
"service" command. For example:
# service httpd restart
# service openssh restart
