Description:
The previous version of the legacy openssl compatibility package
may enable vulnerabilities to multiple attacks in applications that
use this library, some of which which may allow a remote attacker
Unauthorized Access. Other vulnerabilities include Denials of
Service and Information Exposure.
This compatibility library was provided solely for transient
compatibility with applications built for alpha releases of rPath
Linux, to make it easier for alpha testers to upgrade their systems
to rPath Linux 1. rPath is not aware of any applications that
currently use these libraries, and so it is unlikely that any
systems will actually be vulnerable to these attacks.
