slackware
Calendar Grey February 27, 2019
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Important security patch for Slackware 14.2 concerning openssl tackling padding oracle vulnerability. Upgrade advised.
New openssl packages are available for Slackware 14.2 to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/openssl-1.0.2r-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. Go into the error state if a fatal alert is sent or received. If an application calls SSL_shutdown after a fatal alert has occured and then behaves different based on error codes from that function then the application may be vulnerable to a padding oracle.
