RHBA-2011:0661 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated opencryptoki packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.

Description

The openCryptoki package contains version 2.11 of the PKCS#11 API, implemented
for IBM Cryptocards. This package includes support for the IBM 4758
Cryptographic CoProcessor (with the PKCS#11 firmware loaded), the IBM eServer
Cryptographic Accelerator (FC 4960 on IBM eServer System p), the IBM Crypto
Express2 (FC 0863 or FC 0870 on IBM System z), and the IBM CP Assist for
Cryptographic Function (FC 3863 on IBM System z).

The openCryptoki package has been upgraded to upstream version 2.3.3, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#632765)

In addition, these updated opencryptoki packages provide fixes for the following
bugs:

• Previously, openCryptoki failed to include secure key support on IBM System z.

This was caused by an incorrect build configuration. This update provides the
package built with the correct configuration and adds secure key support for
System z to the package. (BZ#604287)

• Prior to this update, openCryptoki failed with the CKR_FUNCTION_FAILED error

when trying to sign a certificate for an NSS (Network Security Services)
database. This occurred due to the function being called incorrectly. With this
update, openCryptoki uses the correct function arguments and the error no longer
occurs. (BZ#654088)

Users of opencryptoki are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
