An errata is in the works for this.

Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2002-03-07 20:50:59 UTC
This will be RHSA-2002:043 when it's released.

Comment 3 Seth Vidal 2002-03-08 21:37:01 UTC
wanted to say thanks for including the red hat linux 6.X patch in the spec file
for 3.1p1 - saved our asses on some older machines.



Comment 4 Konstantin Ryabitsev 2002-03-08 21:45:55 UTC
/me hugs nalin. ;)

Comment 5 Seth Vidal 2002-03-09 02:34:14 UTC
For anyone rebuilding these rpms on 6.X - the included patch will break ssh-1
connection attempts to a machine running 3.1p1 linked to openssl095a.

more information here:
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138

hopefully a patch will be coming soon.

Comment 6 Zenon Mousmoulas 2002-03-10 02:21:34 UTC
3.1p1 should be rebuilt to include the last patch by Markus Friedl 
(http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=35) that attempts to 
fix problems with openssl 0.9.5a on RHL 6.2. However there still seem to be 
some problems even with this patch, so perhaps waiting a couple more days 
wouldn't hurt.
However once it's fixed, please rebuild it :)

Comment 7 Seth Vidal 2002-03-10 20:19:21 UTC

this patch fixes the ssh1 problems for ssh1 and 3des
blowfish is still off.
