Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : openssl0.9.8 (MDVSA-2011:173)

high Nessus Plugin ID 56810

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

On Mandriva Linux 2010.2 we provided the old openssl 0.9.8 library but without a source RPM file. This could pose a security risk for third-party commercial applications that still uses the older OpenSSL library, therefore the latest stable openssl 0.9.8r library is being provided.

Solution

Update the affected lib64openssl0.9.8 and / or libopenssl0.9.8 packages.
