The latest Fedora 25 sscg update boosts protection through dependency minimization. Users are advised to upgrade for better security.
Update to the latest upstream release

Summary

A utility to aid in the creation of more secure "self-signed"

certificates. The certificates created by this tool are generated in a

way so as to create a CA certificate that can be safely imported into a

client machine to trust the service certificate without needing to set

up a full PKI environment and without exposing the machine to a risk of

false signatures from the service certificate.

Update Information:

Update to the latest upstream release. This release reduces dependencies considerably and tightens security. It is recommended that everyone upgrade to this release.
