    Security scan flags OpenSSL/0.9.8za as security risk

     

    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
    • Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care

     

    Description

    In doing security scans on our Aleph website, our IT department flagged OpenSSL as being a security risk. The version we run is OpenSSL/0.9.8za 

    The suggestion is that this software be upgraded to version 1.1.0 or better. 

     

    Resolution

    Aleph V22 and V23 support openssl-1.0.2k. Updating of OpenSSL occurs as part of "Download the Third-Party Product Updates (util SP 6)" of the Service Pack.  (It seems that this was not done as part of the most recent Service Pack application.)

    Downloading of the Third-Party Product Updates included openssl-1.0.2k, which has met the site's security requirements.
