OpenSSL Security Vulnerability

Posted by michael on Tuesday September 30, 2003 @10:48AM from the what-me-worry dept.

SiliconEntity writes "On the heels of multiple OpenSSH vulnerabilities, the OpenSSL project is now reporting a number of security vulnerabilities of its own. OpenSSL is a standard cryptographic library used in a wide variety of security applications. The new vulnerabilities range from denial-of-service attacks to stack corruption, which imply the possibility of running malicious code. New versions of the software are released today which address the vulnerabilities."

Obligatory obligatory comment that has nothing to do with the article but seemed funny at the time of writing.

Does anybody know where you can get the latest Apache 1.3.28+SSL binaries (Windows & Linux) together?

I've noticed that nobody has released a combination of the two since Apache 1.3.26.

My apologies. Most people on /. complain about everything but never do anything about it.
