View affected systems

Topic

Updated libreswan packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Libreswan is an implementation of IPsec and IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security and uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks such as virtual private network (VPN).

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • With this update, support for the new DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) root key has been added to Libreswan. This ensures DNSSEC keeps working after the new DNSSEC Key Signing Key (KSK) for the root zone is taken into circulation by IANA on 12 October 2017. (BZ#1493917)

Users of libreswan are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.

Solution

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