Advisory Updated Date: 2014-09-14 14:25 Pacific
An uninitialized variable use flaw was found in OpenSSL. This flaw could cause an application using the OpenSSL Certificate Revocation List (CRL) checking functionality to incorrectly accept a CRL that has a nextUpdate date in the past.
All OpenSSL users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. For the update to take effect, all services linked to the OpenSSL library must be restarted, or the system rebooted.
Affected Packages:
openssl
Issue Correction:
Run yum update openssl to update your system.
