A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension can be
used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or server. Only 1.0.1
and 1.0.2-beta releases of OpenSSL are affected including
1.0.1f and 1.0.2-beta1.
Affected users should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1g. Users unable to immediately
upgrade can alternatively recompile OpenSSL with -DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS. 1.0.2
will be fixed in 1.0.2-beta2.
My SL 6.5 lists
openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.7.x86_64
openssl098e-0.9.8e-17.el6_2.2.x86_64
openssl-devel-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.7.x86_64
so, it is a vulnerable version of openssl.
No, that is the updated version. TUV backports security errata. They
key is the .7 in el6_5.7 .
Question 1 I enabled fastbugs in sl-other.repo and well as usual enables
in sl.repo, however, do not see an update for openssl.
Will there be one forthcoming from SL or have I missed the proper
repository to get it? I have no server on this PC, so I am not worried
yet.
It was released on Tuesday morning.
Question 2
I surmise that older versions of openssl on older SLs are not impacted
such as
openssl-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1.i686
Not impacted.
