  • ITUGLIB Update: OpenSSL 1.1.1j Critical Security Patch Released

    From Randall@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 23 18:32:28 2021
    Hi Everyone,

    The OpenSSL critical security patch 1.1.1j is now available on the ITUGLIB website for both L-series and J-series machines, which contains the latest security patches from the OpenSSL team. As usual the patch successfully passes the rigorous test suite
    created by the OpenSSL team.

    There are standard, PUT, and SPT builds for each platform.

    And for the big news: we have included a standard IEEE float version on the website, which is new for L-series only. This package might be compatible with the NS HTTP Server. We have had one user already test compatibility with no experienced issues,
    although, as usual, we cannot guarantee anything absolutely.

    On behalf of the ITUGLIB Technical Committee,
    Randall Becker

    Hi Randall,

    I seem to recall some discussion about having the NonStop changes
    backported to upstream, to become part of the stock distribution.

    Did this happen, or are there plans for this to happen?

    Thanks.

    For OpenSSL 3.0.0 yes. Out of scope for 1.1.1.
