Slackware 1119 Published by

New openssl packages are available for Slackware 14.2 to fix a security issue



Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssl-1.0.2r-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
Go into the error state if a fatal alert is sent or received. If an
application calls SSL_shutdown after a fatal alert has occured and
then behaves different based on error codes from that function then
the application may be vulnerable to a padding oracle.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssl-solibs-1.0.2r-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
