Name        : openssl
Version 7.2 : 0.9.6b-36.7.legacy
Version 7.3 : 0.9.6b-36.7.legacy
Version 8.0 : 0.9.6b-36.8.legacy
Summary     : The OpenSSL toolkit.
Description :
The OpenSSL toolkit provides support for secure communications between
machines. OpenSSL includes a certificate management tool and shared
libraries which provide various cryptographic algorithms and
protocols.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
 
CAN-2003-0851:
OpenSSL 0.9.6k does not properly handle certain ASN.1 sequences. As a 
result, OpenSSL performs a recursive function call that could exhaust 
system resources and crash the process using the OpenSSL library.
 
CAN-2004-0081:
OpenSSL prior to version 0.9.6d does not properly handle unknown message 
types. An attacker could cause the application using OpenSSL to enter 
an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service.
