RHEA-2014:0104 - openssl enhancement update

Synopsis

openssl enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated openssl packages that add an enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

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 provides the following enhancement:

  • An expired GlobalSign Certification Authority certificate was replaced by an updated certificate in the /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt file, which contains the certificates of trusted certification authorities.

Users of openssl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement. For the update to take effect, all services linked to the OpenSSL library must be restarted, or the system rebooted.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
