Topic
New openssl-ibmca packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
openssl-ibmca is a shared object OpenSSL dynamic engine for the IBM eServer
Cryptographic Accelerator (ICA).
This updated package provides a fix for the following bug:
- previously, the dynamically loaded ibmca engine for OpenSSL failed because key
length 4096 for RSA in the engine was not supported. With this update, the ibmca
engine uses the Hardware accelerator for key lengths smaller than or equal to
2048 and falls back to software implementation directly from OpenSSL for key
lengths greater than 2048. (BZ#597394)
All openssl-ibmca users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
