Hi all ,

Thanks for the replies, I just have one more humble request from you guys.

The openssl on my servers was compiled from source, is there any way that I can upgrade my OpenSSL 0.9.5a on RH 6.2 to the latest.

Since "rpm -qa | grep openssl" doesn't show any rpm packages.

I'd greatly appreciate your responses and suggestions.

Thanks,

Peram

Back patching was required by RedHat for compatibility with existing
software. The "openssl-0.9.6e" version that everyone is talking about is the
tarball version from openssl.org. I can see how many RedHat users may be
confused on first glance...

Here is a list of the latest patched versions from RedHat:

openssl-0.9.6b-28
openssl095a-0.9.5a-18
openssl096-0.9.6-13
openssl-0.9.5a-29
openssl-0.9.6-13

Do a "rpm -qa | grep openssl" and compare your redhat package version to one
of these.

After installing the latest openssl rpm... you can check for yourself to see
that the patches have been applied:
"rpm -q --changelog openssl | more"

with respect to vulnerabilities of the slapper worm, I'm kind of confused
on how to do that, since I've downloaded and compiled OpenSSL.
