news 28 Posted July 29, 2008 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] openssl (SSA:2008-210-08) New openssl packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and -current to fix security issues. More details about this issues may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0891 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1672 Upgraded OpenSSH packages have been provided to make sure that ssh is not broken my the update -- especially if your machine is a remote one, be SURE to upgrade to the new openssh package as well! Here are the details from the Slackware 12.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/openssl-0.9.8h-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz: Upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.8h. The Codenomicon TLS test suite uncovered security bugs in OpenSSL. If OpenSSL was compiled using non-default options (Slackware's package is not), then a malicious packet could cause a crash. Also, a malformed TLS handshake could also lead to a crash. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0891 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1672 When upgrading OpenSSL, it is VERY IMPORTANT to also upgrade OpenSSH, or it is possible to be unable to log back into sshd! (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
