[arch-dev-public] [signoff] openssl 0.9.8l-1

[Pierre Schmitz]

Moin,

you might have heard from the possible MTM attack against TLS. Openssl has
released a new version which disabled the affected renegotiation feature.
We should move this to core soon.

For more information see http://extendedsubset.com/?p=8 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2009-3555

Please note that this is more or less a protocol design flaw which means
that every SSL implementation should be affected, not only openssl (e.g.
Firefox uses nss and there is also gnutls). So we should have a look at
those packages, too.

Pierre
