Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2014:0330-1
Rating: moderate
References: #859228 #859924 #860332 #862181
Affected Products:
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11 SP3
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 for VMware
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP3

  • An update that has four recommended fixes can now be installed.

    Description:


    This update brings various enhancements for OpenSSL:

    *

    IPv6 support was added to the openssl s_client and
    s_server command line tool. (bnc#859228)

    *

    The openssl command line tool now checks certificates
    by default against /etc/ssl/certs (this can be changed via
    the -CApath option). (bnc#860332)

    *

    The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange
    selector was enabled and can be selected by kECDHE, kECDH,
    ECDH tags in the SSL cipher string. (bnc#859924)

    *

    If an optional "openssl1" command line tool is
    installed in parallel, c_rehash uses it to generate
    certificate hashes in both OpenSSL 0 and OpenSSL 1 style.
    This allows parallel usage of OpenSSL 0.9.8j and OpenSSL
    1.x client libraries with a shared certificate store.
    (bnc#862181)
