Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
New libreswan packages are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extras.
Description
Libreswan is an implementation of IPsec & IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security and uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks such as virtual private network (VPN).
The openswan packages will be deprecated with the next update of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6. libreswan will be introduced as a direct replacement for
openswan, and is a more stable and secure VPN solution for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6. libreswan is already available as the VPN endpoint solution for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
This enhancement update adds the libreswan packages to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extras. (BZ#1233303)
In order to help customers plan for this transition, libreswan has been made available in the RHEL 6 Extras channel.
