    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

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

    37730 - OpenSSL-0.9.6a has security fixes
    24079 - openssl in updates area built for wrong arch

    These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our key
    is available at:
        http://www.redhat.com/corp/contact.html

    You can verify each package with the following command:
        rpm --checksig <filename>

    If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
    tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
        rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
