[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#352047: BIO_s_connect patch pending next 0.9.8 release

[Gabriel Forté]

Package: libssl0.9.8
Version: 0.9.8a-6
Severity: critical


the following openssl-dev mailing-list thread documents a regression bug 
in libssl which will be fixed in the upcoming upstream release (0.9.8b):

http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-dev@openssl.org/msg20804.html


would it be possible to integrate the fix temporarily as a patch in the
libssl0.9.8 package before the upstream 0.9.8b gets released ?

here's the diff from upstream cvs:

http://cvs.openssl.org/filediff?f=openssl/crypto/bio/bss_conn.c&v1=1.29&v2=1.29.2.1


thank you
