medium Nessus Plugin ID 64186

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update adds libopenssl0_9_8-hmac packages, that, when installed, will enforce FIPS 140-2 self-test being run upon first use of the library.

If FIPS mode is enforced, these new packages are required in order to enable FIPS mode successfully.

The update also imposes limits on the parameters of a Diffie-Hellman key exchange to prevent man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks in FIPS mode.
(CVE-2011-5095)
