RHEA-2014:0104 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated openssl packages that add an enhancement are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, as well as a full-strength
general-purpose cryptography library.

This update provides the following enhancement:

• An expired GlobalSign Certification Authority certificate was replaced by

an updated certificate in the /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt file, which
contains the certificates of trusted certification authorities.

Users of openssl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
add this enhancement. For the update to take effect, all services linked to
the OpenSSL library must be restarted, or the system rebooted.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the
Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
