freebsd stable - Oct 2007 - [simon@FreeBSD.org: cvs commit: src/crypto/openssl/ssl d1_both.c dtls1.h ssl.h ssl_err.c]

Hey,

RELENG_7 isn't -STABLE yet, so the issue mention in the commit mail
beolow will not get a Security Advisory.  This only affects
applications using DTLS, and I doubt there are many of those, but
users should still upgrade to get this fix, just in case.

See the OpenSSL advisory for some more details:
http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20071012.txt

If anybody were wondering, and hadn't checked the OpenSSL advisory:
older versions of FreeBSD aren't affected as they have OpenSSL 0.9.7
which isn't affected (it doesn't have DTLS support).

Uhm, are you sure?  In the past, whenever a new RELENG
branch was created, it was implicitly the next -stable
branch, because -current moved on to the next version
number.  Did that policy change?

If it did change, I'm curious to know what the version
7 branch is called right now (6 being -stable and 8
being -current)?  I assume we do not have two -current
branches at the same time, do we?

Best regards
   Oliver

PS:  I do agree that the DTLS security fix doesn't need
a FreeBSD Security Advisory, for the reason that it
doesn't seem to affect any _released_ FreeBSD version.
