Lemburg) Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 09:36:23 +0100 Subject: [python-crypto] ANN: eGenix pyOpenSSL Distribution 0.13.8 Message-ID: <55112207.4040404@egenix.com> ________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution Version 0.13.8 An easy-to-install and easy-to-use distribution of the pyOpenSSL Python interface for OpenSSL - available for Windows, Mac OS X and Unix platforms This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-pyOpenSSL-Distribution-0.13.8.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes everything you need to get started with SSL in Python. It comes with an easy-to-use installer that includes the most recent OpenSSL library versions in pre-compiled form, making your application independent of OS provided OpenSSL libraries: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/ pyOpenSSL is an open-source Python add-on that allows writing SSL/TLS- aware network applications as well as certificate management tools: https://launchpad.net/pyopenssl/ OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol: http://www.openssl.org/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS This new release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes the following updates: New in eGenix pyOpenSSL ----------------------- * Added FreeBSD as supported platform. * Updated the Mozilla CA root bundle to version 2015-02-19. New in OpenSSL -------------- * Updated included OpenSSL libraries from OpenSSL 1.0.1k to 1.0.1m. We had skipped OpenSSL 1.0.1l, since the 1.0.1l release only included a patch for Windows we had already included in our 0.13.7 release. See https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20150319.txt for a complete list of changes. The following fixes are relevant for pyOpenSSL applications: - CVE-2015-0286: Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp. - CVE-2015-0287: ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption. - CVE-2015-0289: PKCS#7 NULL pointer dereference. - CVE-2015-0292: A vulnerability existed in previous versions of OpenSSL related to the processing of base64 encoded data. Any code path that reads base64 data from an untrusted source could be affected (such as the PEM processing routines). Already fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.1h, but wasn't listed, so repeated here for completeness. - CVE-2015-0293: Denial-of-Service (DoS) via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers. - CVE-2015-0209: Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error. A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function could cause a use after free condition. * The FREAK Attack (CVE-2015-0204) patch was already available in our last release with OpenSSL 1.0.1k. Please see the product changelog for the full set of changes: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/changelog.html pyOpenSSL / OpenSSL Binaries Included ------------------------------------- In addition to providing sources, we make binaries available that include both pyOpenSSL and the necessary OpenSSL libraries for all supported platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and now FreeBSD, for x86 and x64. To simplify installation, we have uploaded a web installer to PyPI which will automatically choose the right binary for your platform, so a simple pip install egenix-pyopenssl will get you the package with OpenSSL libraries installed. Please see our installation instructions for details: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/#Installation We have also added .egg-file distribution versions of our eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X to the available download options. These make setups using e.g. zc.buildout and other egg-file based installers a lot easier. ________________________________________________________________________ DOWNLOADS The download archives and instructions for installing the package can be found at: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/ ________________________________________________________________________ UPGRADING Before installing this version of pyOpenSSL, please make sure that you uninstall any previously installed pyOpenSSL version.
