Addresses a potential race-condition when the key and certificate share the same file.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2017-d219f0e5fc 2017-03-31 18:32:04.960739 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : sscg Product : Fedora 25 Version : 2.0.4 Release : 1.fc25 URL : https://github.com/sgallagher/sscg Summary : Simple SSL certificate generator Description : A utility to aid in the creation of more secure "self-signed" certificates. The certificates created by this tool are generated in a way so as to create a CA certificate that can be safely imported into a client machine to trust the service certificate without needing to set up a full PKI environment and without exposing the machine to a risk of false signatures from the service certificate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Addresses a potential race-condition when the key and certificate share the same file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
