Topic: PHP using old openssl version

Dear Remi

I have recently upgraded the openssl library on our Centos 5.2 server to 1.0.1. However the remi PHP 5.4.29 info shows that PHP is still using 0.9.8:

OpenSSL Library Version     OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008

Is the php compiled with it's own version of openssl?

Thanks

Re: PHP using old openssl version

PHP is build with system openssl.

So if you want PHP to use a new version, you have to rebuild PHP (and nearly everything that use openssl on your system, probably simpler to update to C6 or C7).

As RH backports security fix, 0.9.8e is secure.
