Subject: [Buildroot] [patch] openssl-0.9.7l (security)
Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2007 16:28:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46B632FD.60607@mainstreetsoftworks.com> (raw)

0.9.7e has a few advisories against it.
Here's a patch to bring it up to a more 'secure' version,
should maintain binary compatibility as well.

I've also switched the option 'no-threads' to 'threads'.  It
doesn't actually add any link dependencies to openssl,
it simply enables some callbacks where a programmer can
'register' thread-safe callbacks for mutexes, etc.  If the
programmer doesn't implement them, the library behaves the
same as a no-threads build, so there is no impact here.
Programs which use threads and OpenSSL _will_ crash randomly
if openssl is not compiled with thread support.

Please apply the attached patch, and also remove the
openssl-0.9.7e-no-fips.patch

-Brad
