Security implications of openssl098e on CentOS 7

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Greetings,

I'm working with a new CentOS 7 installation, moving a system up from CentOS 5 due to OpenSSL version 0.9.8e not meeting PCI Compliance requirements.

However, while setting up the CentOS 7 environment one of the closed source applications is requiring 0.9.8. The software vendor has advised installing package openssl098e from yum; but I'm hesitant to do so from a compliance and security perspective.

What are the implications of this compatibility package? What does it provide/do?

Thank you,
