REMEDIATION:

FIX(ES):

Use the link in the Patch link column to find the patch provided by Novell. **Note: **Access to the patches on the Novell site is restricted and requires a valid Novell license and ID.

A. Verify the OpenSSL and OpenSSH packages need to be updated
1. Refer to the Novell patch page to determine the versions of the OpenSSL and the OpenSSH packages that are required for your system.

2. Determine the OpenSSL and the OpenSSH versions installed on your system.

a. Issue the following command to determine the installed version of the openssl package:
rpm -qa openssl

The command should return output similar to the following output. In the following output, the installed version of the openssl package is 0.9.8j-0.50.1.

libopenssl0_9_8-``**0.9.8j-0.50.1**

3. Compare the versions specified in the Novell patch page with the versions installed on your system. If the versions installed on your system are earlier than the versions specified in the Novell patch page, you must install the later versions specified in the Novell patch page.

B. Install the OpenSSL and OpenSSH packages
1. Use the link in the Patch Linkcolumn to install the patch on your system.
