-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-15508 2010-09-30 10:01:26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : openswan Product : Fedora 12 Version : 2.6.29 Release : 1.fc12 URL : http://www.openswan.org/ Summary : IPSEC implementation with IKEv1 and IKEv2 keying protocols Description : Openswan is a free implementation of IPsec & IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security and uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted net is encrypted by the ipsec gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel. The resulting tunnel is a virtual private network or VPN. This package contains the daemons and userland tools for setting up Openswan. It supports the NETKEY/XFRM IPsec kernel stack that exists in the default Linux kernel. Openswan 2.6.x also supports IKEv2 (RFC4306) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - New upstream release - Fixes for CVE-2010-3308 and CVE-2010-3302 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Sep 27 2010 Avesh Agarwal <avagarwa@redhat.com> - 2.6.29-1 - New upstream release - Fixes for CVE-2010-3308 and CVE-2010-3302 * Mon Jul 19 2010 Avesh Agarwal <avagarwa@redhat.com> - 2.6.27-1 - New upstream release - NetworkManager-openswan plugin related changes - Fixes for bz 584224 - Updated old patches * Tue Mar 30 2010 Avesh Agarwal <avagarwa@redhat.com> - 2.6.25-1 - New upstream release - Updated existing patches that could not make into this release * Thu Feb 25 2010 Avesh Agarwal <avagarwa@redhat.com> - 2.6.24-3 - Fixed rhbz 550023: pluto's child process can not add routes, and errors are displayed when running is updown.netkey script - Modified package description - Fixed a typo (IKEv2 RFC number). * Mon Feb 8 2010 Avesh Agarwal <avagarwa@redhat.com> - 2.6.24-2 - Modified summary in spec file - Replaced buildroot with RPM_BUILD_ROOT in spec file - Included html files in the doc package - Patch for disabling openswan startup at the system boot by default * Mon Feb 8 2010 Avesh Agarwal <avagarwa@redhat.com> - 2.6.24-1 - New upstream release - Cisco interop patches - Improved init script - Fix to allow ";" in the ike/esp parameters - Fix to unset IKEv2 Critical flag for payloads defined in RFC 4306 - Fix to Zeroize ISAKMP and IPsec SA's when in FIPS mode - Fix to the issue where Some programs were installed twice causing .old files - lwdns.req.log moved from /var/tmp/ to /var/run/pluto/ .
