Update on CVE-2014-0160, aka "Heartbleed"

Recommended Posts

Hello again, Fedora community.

 

This is an update on Fedora's response to CVE-2014-0160 (aka

"Heartbleed"). This is a critical security vulnerability that requires

your immediate attention.

 

Updates are now available, and are being pushed to our mirror network.

The update announcements for Fedora 19 and Fedora 20 are available at:

 

Fedora 19: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-April/131291.html

Fedora 20: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-April/131221.html

 

Apply updates with

 

sudo yum upgrade openssl openssl-libs

 

or with your graphical package manager.

 

After applying the update, please make sure to restart all services

which use OpenSSL. You may find it easiest to simply restart your

system. However, if you prefer, you may restart any affected services

manually. You can get an overview of programs that need to be restarted

by using the command line tool

 

sudo needs-restarting

 

(This is included in the `yum-utils` package.) Restart all listed

programs until the output of needs-restarting is empty.

 

The Fedora Cloud images linked at

https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora#cloud have been recreated with

the updated packages preinstalled.

 

Fixes have been applied to servers used in Fedora infrastructure and we

are investigating any further remediation which may be necessary.

 

Special thanks to Robert Mayr, Kévin Raymond, Dennis Gilmore, Matt

Miller, Paul Frields, Major Hayden, Kurt Seifried, Kevin Fenzi,

William Brown, Nick Bebout, Adam Williamson, Joachim Backes, Pádraig

Brady, Lokesh Mandvekar, David Strauss, Joop Braak, Michael

Cronenworth, Till Maas, Luke Macken, and others for effort in making

these updates available quickly.
