-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2001.299 -- RHSA-2001:051-18 Updated openssl packages available 19 July 2001 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: openssl 0.9.6a openssl 0.9.6b Vendor: Red Hat Operating System: Red Hat Linux 6.2 Red Hat Linux 7.0 Red Hat Linux 7.1 Platform: Alpha i386 Sparc Impact: Access Privileged Data Reduced Security Access Required: Remote - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated openssl packages available Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:051-18 Issue date: 2001-04-17 Updated on: 2001-07-18 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: openssl 0.9.6a 0.9.6b bleichenbacher premaster crt setugid prng Cross references: Obsoletes: RHEA-2000:085 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated openssl packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.x and 7. These packages include security-related changes made in OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b which have been backported to previous versions released for Red Hat Linux. In addition, this advisory provides OpenSSL 0.9.6 packages for Red Hat Linux 7, which may be used by future updates to both Red Hat Linux 7 and Red Hat Linux 7.1. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.2 - alpha, i386, sparc Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386 Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386 3. Problem description: Versions of OpenSSL prior to 0.9.6a suffer from potential security problems. These include potential leakage of information after SSL version 3 key exchanges, imperfect distribution of random numbers used when generating signatures, honoring of sensitive environment variables in library functions in setuid or setgid applications, and not taking precautions to counter effects of potential hardware glitches when generating digital signatures. A flaw has also been found in the pseudo-random number generator used in versions of OpenSSL prior to 0.9.6b. The OpenSSL Project Team has released a patch which corrects this problem. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. For all RPMs downloaded for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Uvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Because of dependencies, the packages must be installed as a group. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
