Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2003-0047

Package name:      freeswan
Summary:           new upstream version
Date:              2003-12-01
Affected versions: TSL 2.0

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  The overall goal for the freeswan project is to make the Internet more secure
  and more private, to make Internet "wiretapping" entirely impractical.IPSEC
  is designed to support (among other things) VPNs or virtual private networks,
  which allow multiple sites from an organisation (optionally, and its clients,
  suppliers, etc.) to communicate securely over an insecure Internet by
  encrypting all communication between the sites. We want to extend that to a
  real private network in which anyone who choses to communicate securely can
  do so, in which strong encryption is universally available.

Problem description:
  The kernel packages includes new upstream versions of freeswan and the 
  x509 patch. This updates includes corresponding changes to the freeswan
  package.
