Fedora 44 cryptlib Critical Update for Obsolete Algorithms 2026-e4349a03b1

Fedora 44 has updated cryptlib to version 3.4.9.3, enhancing encryption and authentication services while preparing for the deprecation of obsolete algorithms in the upcoming release.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2026-e4349a03b1 2026-07-24 00:56:22.694797+00:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : cryptlib Product : Fedora 44 Version : 3.4.9.3 Release : 1.fc44 URL : https://github.com/cryptlib/cryptlib Summary : Security library and toolkit for encryption and authentication services Description : Cryptlib is a powerful security toolkit that allows even inexperienced crypto programmers to easily add encryption and authentication services to their software. The high-level interface provides anyone with the ability to add strong security capabilities to an application in as little as half an hour, without needing to know any of the low-level details that make the encryption or authentication work. Because of this, cryptlib dramatically reduces the cost involved in adding security to new or existing applications. At the highest level, cryptlib provides implementations of complete security services such as S/MIME and PGP/OpenPGP secure enveloping, SSL/TLS and SSH secure sessions, CA services such as CMP, SCEP, RTCS, and OCSP, and other security operations such as secure time-stamping. Since cryptlib uses industry-standard X.509, S/MIME, PGP/OpenPGP, and SSH/SSL/TLS data formats, the resulting encrypted or signed data can be easily transported to other systems and processed there, and cryptlib itself runs on virtually any operating system - cryptlib doesn't tie you to a single system. This allows email, files and EDI transactions to be authenticated with digital signatures and encrypted in an industry-standard format. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UpdateInformation: A third update after 3.4.9 to prepare for deprecation of obsolete algorithms and attributes in the upcoming 3.5 release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jul 14 2026 Ralf Senderek 3.4.9.3-1 - Update Cryptlib to version 3.4.9.3 * Sat Jun 27 2026 Ralf Senderek 3.4.9.2-2 - Add cltls version 1.0 to the cryptlib tools * Wed Jun 10 2026 Ralf Senderek 3.4.9.2-1 - update Cryptlib to version 3.4.9.2 * Wed Jun 3 2026 Python Maint - 3.4.9.1-2 - Rebuilt for Python 3.15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
