Due to security inadequacy.
Details man! Details!
The details are in www.openssl.org.
You know what to do. RTFM.
Once I again I am hoist by my own subtlety.
I'm not actually asking for details on this
or any other package. It was meant to be spur
for you to find out for yourself the facts of
the matter.
The very thought that any major distro would _require_
you to upgrade to whole new version of the distro to get
a security fix for one package is absurd, and shows a
pretty profound misunderstanding and disconnection from
the whole process.
I expressly said I do not know about what Fedora's thinking. You should
ask them.
What I know is there is security issue. I did not know that openssl-0.9.7f
has been patched to fix this problem until I saw a number of post on this
list. But the 0.9.8a release has the fix according to their site. So, I
tried
to go for it.
