Insight

Insight

The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols provide a secure communications layer over which other protocols can be utilized. The most widespread use of SSL/TLS is to add security to the HTTP protocol, thus producing HTTPS. FreeBSD includes software from the OpenSSL Project which implements SSL and TLS. The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.

Solution

Solution

Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release or security branch dated after the correction date https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=FreeBSD-SA-09:15.ssl.asc
