Hello, Linux machines (SL6.1 to 6.4) on my estate use GnuTLS to securely connect to our SVN server.
However over the last two days I've noticed that an updated version of gnutls was installed on a the Linux machines. (/var/log/yum.log) Jun 04 05:10:12 Updated: gnutls-2.8.5-14.el6_5.x86_64 The odd thing I noticed was that an additional package was also installed for the first time from core-0 repo. Jun 04 05:10:11 Updated: libtasn1-2.3-6.el6_5.x86_64 I am trying to understand the link between the two packages. I understand that libtasn1 is a library suite that GnuTLS uses. Since this update occurred, all Linux servers weren't able to connect to the SVN server. I was seeing the following error depending on the machine: svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.xxxxxxx.co.uk/xxxxxx': SSL handshake failed, client certificate was requested: SSL socket write failed ( https://svn.xxxxxx.co.uk) Or SSL handshake failed, client certificate was requested: SSL error: GnuTLS internal error. The only way to fix this was to run 'yum downgrade libtasn1' which removed the package. This resolved the issue and everything is OK again even with the gnutls-2.8.5-14.el6_5.x86_64 left as is. i,e not downgrading gnutls! My question is what part of libtasn1 would cause SSL connections to to svn to break? Second question is, is it ok to not have libtasn1 installed? I appreciate any advice you can give. Best Regards, Ben
