Details

Updated OpenSSL packages that improve handling of some CA certificates are
now available.

OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and
Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength
general purpose cryptography library.

The updated OpenSSL packages fix a problem with verification of
certificates signed by certain CA certificates.

Note: After installing this update, users are advised to either restart all
services that use OpenSSL or restart their system.

Users of openssl should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.
