Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: mod_ssl security update for Stronghold

Notes

Topic
An updated mod_ssl package is now available for Stronghold 4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux that closes a security issue in certain rare configurations.
Details
Stronghold 4 contains a number of open source technologies, including the mod_ssl module (which provides SSL/TLS support for Apache). Ben Laurie found a bug in the optional renegotiation code in mod_ssl that can cause cipher suite restrictions to be ignored. This is triggered if optional renegotiation is used (SSLOptions +OptRenegotiate) along with verification of client certificates and a change to the cipher suite over the renegotiation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0192 to this issue. Users of Stronghold 4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux may update to this erratum package, which contains a backported security fix and is not vulnerable to this issue.

Only those\nRPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are\nnot installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you\ncan also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the\ndesired RPMs.\n\nPlease note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.\n\nIf up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL Certificate \nErrors, you need to install a version of the up2date client with an updated \ncertificate.  The latest version of up2date is available from the Red Hat \nFTP site and may also be downloaded directly from the RHN website:\n\nhttps://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt",
