OpenSSL Issue

Postby tepet123 » 16. June 2014 12:02

Hello Guys,
Its Me Again!.
Today Im Going To Asking You About The Latest OpenSSL (1.0.1h).
Currently Im Using Old Xampp (1.6.8) with Apache (2.2.9/2.2.x) include OpenSSL (0.9.8i) which were released on 15 Sep 2008. A Bit Older?.
OpenSSL Vuln Refer : http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html

Okay,The Questions is Below :
1. Is That Available to Upgrade the OpenSSL 0.9.8i to 1.0.1h or even (0.9.8za) to fix (june) vulnerabilities ? (If It is Available How To Upgrade ? is there's any guide?)
2. Does OpenSSL 1.0.1(a-h) support for apache (2.2.9/2.2.x) ?

Thank You Mr/Mrs.

No. If XAMPP is used for what it is designed for (as local test and development environment), this vulnerability should not be critical for you.

Yes, but the OpenSSL package needs to be compiled against this specific Apache build.

best wishes,

You are using XAMPP in a way it is not meant for.

XAMPP is not configurated for such environments (default passwords, many activated and probably unnecessary modules, not tweaked for performance, scalability, stability or security). This board does have several entrys about hacked XAMPP installations because of using unprotected XAMPP installations in not supported environments. XAMPP don't want to fit every possible use case and there are other (also free) alternatives for such environments.

That is not the problem of XAMPP.

Install and configure the needed single components on your own, that is much more secure.
Or use a Stack that is meant for production or live environments.
