RHBA-2012:0360 - openssl bug fix update
Synopsis
openssl bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
An updated openssl package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, as well as a full strength general-purpose cryptography library.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The functions that implement Counter (CTR), Output Feedback (OFB), and Cipher Feedback (CFB) block cipher modes previously incorrectly reset the counter of the remaining bytes of a block that had not been used in the previous encryption or decryption operation. Consequently, calling the encryption function on a small amount of data, that was not aligned to the size of the block, led to incorrect data encryption or decryption in the aforementioned modes. An upstream patch has been applied to correct the underlying functions, and both encryption and decryption now work as expected in CTR, OFB, and CFB modes. (BZ#799256)
All users of openssl are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
