[ale] OpenSSL Broken, Upgrade Now

Yep – apparently Fedora do some of the same type of extended versioning thing RHEL does.   So long as Fedora says it is patched it is presumably safe (for recent versions of Fedora – they don’t maintain more than 1 or 2 versions back).

I had thought Fedora didn’t do the extended versioning but haven’t used in a long time.

Unfortunately openssl command shows you only the base versioning so you’d have to look at actually installed version with yum or rpm (rpm –qa |grep openssl).

 and it is still 1.0.1e

 yum localinstall openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc20.1.x86_64.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Examining openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc20.1.x86_64.rpm: 1:openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc20.1.x86_64
openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc20.1.x86_64.rpm: does not update installed package.
Nothing to do
