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

high Nessus Plugin ID 56810

Language:

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.
