1.92.1. RHBA-2011:1058: m2crypto bug fix update

An updated m2crypto package that fixes various bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
m2crypto allows OpenSSL functions to be called from Python scripts.
This updated m2crypto package includes fixes for the following bugs:
* Prior to this update, the AES_crypt() function did not free a temporary buffer. This caused a memory leak when the function was called repeatedly. This problem has been fixed and the AES_crypt() function now frees memory correctly. (BZ#659881) * Previously, calling the m.2asn1_INTEGER_get() function resulted in an incorrect numerical value for the serial number due to a data type mismatch. As a consequence, the subscription-manager application displayed an error message about the serial number being less than zero. Serial numbers are now handled correctly and no error message appears. (BZ#703648)
All users of m2crypto are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these bugs.
