Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated openssl-ibmca packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The openssl-ibmca packages provide a dynamic OpenSSL engine for the IBM eServer
Cryptographic Accelerator (ICA) crypto hardware on IBM eServer zSeries machines.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, an incorrect flag was passed to the elliptic curve
crypto signing method. Consequently, the selftest in the OpenSSL library failed
when the IBMCA engine was in use. Now, the correct flag is passed, and the
OpenSSL selftest succeeds. (BZ#1075183)
- Previously, the IBMCA engine truncated the SHA256 hash data computed by the
Library for IBM Cryptographic Architecture (libica). As a consequence, the
certificate verification process used a malformed hash and failed. Now, the
correct length is used for the SHA256 data, and certificate verification
proceeds without errors. (BZ#1193071)
Users of openssl-ibmca are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
