Red Hat Linux 7.x RHSA-2002:134-12 Critical: mod_ssl Buffer Overflow Risk

red hat
Calendar Grey July 16, 2002
Dist Redhat Esm H88
Debian introduced updated OpenSSL packages to fix a critical security flaw that might allow attackers to execute unauthorized commands.
Updated mod_ssl packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7, 7.1, 7.2,and 7.3

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

After the appropriate updates have been applied, it will be necessary to manually restart the server with the following command:

/sbin/service httpd restart
