    An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata is now available. It includes one version update.

    Description:


    This update adds libopenssl0_9_8-hmac packages, that, when
    installed, will enforce FIPS 140-2 self-test being run
    upon first use of the library.

    If FIPS mode is enforced, these new packages are required
    in order to enable FIPS mode successfully.

    The update also imposes limits on the parameters of a
    Diffie-Hellman key exchange to prevent man-in-the-middle
    (MITM) attacks in FIPS mode (CVE-2011-5095).

    Security reference:

    * CVE-2011-5095
    >

    Indications:

    Every FIPS user should update.
