fedora
Calendar Grey December 22, 2016
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Kernel 5.4.102 patch release enhances vulnerability protection in Ubuntu, bolstering system security and operational performance.

Summary

Botan is a BSD-licensed crypto library written in C++. It provides a

wide variety of basic cryptographic algorithms, X.509 certificates and

CRLs, PKCS \#10 certificate requests, a filter/pipe message processing

system, and a wide variety of other features, all written in portable

C++. The API reference, tutorial, and examples may help impart the

flavor of the library.

Update Information:

### Botan 1.10.14 ### * NOTE WELL: Botan 1.10.x is supported for security patches only until 2017-12-31 * Fix integer overflow during BER decoding, found by Falko Strenzke. This bug is not thought to be directly exploitable but upgrading ASAP is advised. (CVE-2016-9132) * Fix two cases where (in error situations) an exception would be thrown from a destructor, causing a call to std::terminate. * When RC4 is disabled in the build, also prevent it from being included in the OpenSSL provider. (GH #638)
