openSUSE Security Update : openssl-CVE-2009-4355.patch (openssl-CVE-2009-4355.patch-1834)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 44127

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

Incorrect use of an openssl cleanup function can lead to memory leaks in applications. For example an ssl enabled web server such as apache that uses php, curl and openssl leaks memory if a SIGHUP signal was sent to apache. The openssl cleanup function was made more robust to avoid memory leaks (CVE-2009-4355).

Additionally a problem with creating pkcs12 files was fixed.

Solution

Update the affected openssl-CVE-2009-4355.patch packages.
