Fedora 44 : rpki-client (2026-fb17adc9de)

high Nessus Plugin ID 341807

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-fb17adc9de advisory.

 # rpki-client 9.9

 - Introduce a backoff retry mechanism for non-functional CAs, eventually settling on retrying broken CAs only once per day. Backoff helps reduce load on both the RP itself and the publication points. It reduces log clutter and improves RP run duration.
 - Support for OpenSSL 4.
 - Add additional fail safe: only output config files on successful run.
 - In Rsync mode, include `.gbr` files in transfer for backwards compatibility.
 - Exclude hidden files and directories (`/.*`) when synchronizing via Rsync.
 - Limit the length of filenames as they appear in various ASN.1 fields to 255.
 - Improve readability by printing CCR ManifestState sorted by AKI.
 - Improve warnings related to malformed CCRs.
 - Limit the range of deltas added to the queue.
 - Rework error handling in `rrdp_handle_file`.
 - Ensure consistent states in persistent HTTP connections.
 - Tighten well-formedness checks on AIA & SIA extensions in certs.
 - Clear `last_modified` after each response on a persistent HTTP connection.
 - ASPAs with too many providers are no longer included in CCR output.
 - Replace `assert()` with a graceful failure by aborting the http request.
 - Fix a off-by-one in the internal IP address overlap checker.
