Red Hat Linux: RHSA-2003:296-01 Critical Update for Stunnel Signal Handling

red hat
Calendar Grey November 24, 2003
Dist Redhat Esm H88
The latest stunnel patches for Fedora tackle issues concerning signal handling. Users are encouraged to update to improve system security.
Updated stunnel packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3,and 8.0 systems

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.

If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be downloaded directly from the RHN website:
