Debian: 2023-510-04 Urgent: OpenSSL Vulnerability Exploit
slackware
November 16, 2008
New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and -current to correctly fix the certificate chain verification issue that the upgrade to gnutls-2.6.1 attempted to fix
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/gnutls-2.6.2-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz: Upgraded to gnutls-2.6.2. The security fix in gnutls-2.6.1 had a flaw in cases where the certificate chain contained only one self-signed certificate. This update fixes the issue.
Where Find New Packages
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
