Synopsis
stunnel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated stunnel package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
stunnel is a socket wrapper which can provide SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
support to ordinary applications. For example, it can be used in
conjunction with imapd to create an SSL-secure IMAP server.
This updated stunnel package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- stunnel would log a confusing error message if an invalid or unknown port
name was specified in the stunnel.conf configuration file.
- specifying "protocol = smtp" in the stunnel.conf configuration file when
configuring stunnel would cause the the utility to crash. In this updated
package, stunnel no longer crashes when setting the protocol to "smtp".
All users of stunnel are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
