OpenSSL Security Advisory [25-Mar-2009]

[John Ivy]

Is there an OpenSSL 0.9.8k for HP-UX 11-23 as referenced in OpenSSL Security Advisory [25-Mar-2009]? I have been unable to find it.

Shalom,

If openssl has been re-released by HP it will be found on http://software.hp.com

For some applications HP software support provides binary replacement but probably not this.

Any reason not to build one yourself?
(Especially if you're in a hurry?)

I am sorry I need 0.9.8k per OpenSSL Security Advisory [25-Mar-2009] and that is not in the HP software library that is the reason I asked. As for building it myself I am not that up to speed on building it. I know my organization would feel better with a vendor patch anyway.

Thanks John

I believe that the kit includes a file named
"INSTALL", which provides instructions.

In that case, a direct complaint to the
vendor might be appropriate.

As with most open-source software, if you
want the latest code soonest, then you may
need to do some work yourself. "Work or
wait" is my motto. (Well, one of them.)

Thanks for the info I will see what management wants.
