Ubuntu 12.04 LTS : openssl vulnerability (USN-1516-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 60125

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled the SSL_OP_ALL setting. This resulted in TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 being inadvertently disabled for certain server and client applications.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libssl1.0.0 package.
