OpenSSL version 0.9.7b and 0.9.6j released
==========================================
OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
http://www.openssl.org/
The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of
version 0.9.7b of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS. This new
OpenSSL version is a security and bugfix release and incorporates
at least 7 changes and bugfixes to the toolkit (for a complete list
see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES.
We also release 0.9.6j, which contains the same security bugfix as
0.9.7b and a few more small bugfixes compared to 0.9.6i.
The most significant changes are:
o Security: counter the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
Bleichbacher's attack [0.9.7b & 0.9.6j]
o Security: make RSA blinding default. [0.9.7b & 0.9.6j]
o Configuration: Irix fixes, AIX fixes, better mingw support. [0.9.7b]
o Support for new platforms: linux-ia64-ecc. [0.9.7b]
o Build: shared library support fixes. [0.9.7b & 0.9.6j]
o ASN.1: treat domainComponent correctly. [0.9.7b]
o Documentation: fixes and additions. [0.9.7b]
We consider OpenSSL 0.9.7b to be the best version of OpenSSL available
and we strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade as
soon as possible. OpenSSL 0.9.7b is available for download via HTTP
and FTP from the following master locations (you can find the various
FTP mirrors under http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html):
o http://www.openssl.org/source/
o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/
For those who want or have to stay with the 0.9.6 series of OpenSSL,
we strongly recommend that you upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.6j as soon as
possible. It's available in the same location as 0.9.7b.
The distribution file name is:
o openssl-0.9.7b.tar.gz [normal]
MD5 checksum: fae4bec090fa78e20f09d76d55b6ccff
o openssl-0.9.6j.tar.gz [normal]

o openssl-engine-0.9.6j.tar.gz [engine]
MD5 checksum: beae194a369a74de18b4c3472a1d1abe

openssl md5 < openssl-0.9.6j.tar.gz
openssl md5 < openssl-engine-0.9.6j.tar.gz

The OpenSSL Project Team...
