Comment 2 Jan Lieskovsky 2009-02-21 13:32:15 UTC 
This issue affects the versions of the ntop package, as shipped with 
Fedora release of 9, 10 and devel and Red Hat HPC Solution v5.
Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2009-02-23 09:06:56 UTC 
This is fairly sloppy packaging, but how is this a security vulnerability?  If someone wants to use https connection to ntop's web server, they'd notice immediately.

However, it seems that ntop should generate ntop-cert.pem upon installation (see postinstall in mod_ssl for example), instead of shipping some pre-packaged keys / certificates.
Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2009-03-03 09:48:27 UTC 
ntop-3.3.8-2.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10.

Comment 5 Tomas Hoger 2009-03-03 09:56:57 UTC 
Moving to Fedora / ntop, as I'm not convinced this should be treated as security vulnerability fix.
