Subject: OpenSSL 0.9.7b and 0.9.6j released

    OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
    http://www.openssl.org/

    The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of
    version 0.9.7b of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS.  This new
    OpenSSL version is a security and bugfix release and incorporates
    at least 7 changes and bugfixes to the toolkit (for a complete list
    see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES.

    We also release 0.9.6j, which contains the same security bugfix as
    0.9.7b and a few more small bugfixes compared to 0.9.6i.

    The most significant changes are:


      o Security: counter the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
         Bleichbacher's attack  [0.9.7b & 0.9.6j]
      o Security: make RSA blinding default.  [0.9.7b & 0.9.6j]
      o Configuration: Irix fixes, AIX fixes, better mingw 
support.      [0.9.7b]
      o Support for new platforms: linux-ia64-ecc.  [0.9.7b]
      o Build: shared library support fixes.    [0.9.7b & 0.9.6j]
      o ASN.1: treat domainComponent correctly.  [0.9.7b]
      o Documentation: fixes and additions. [0.9.7b]

    We consider OpenSSL 0.9.7b to be the best version of OpenSSL available
    and we strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade as
    soon as possible.  OpenSSL 0.9.7b is available for download via HTTP
    and FTP from the following master locations (you can find the various
    FTP mirrors under http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html):

     o http://www.openssl.org/source/
      o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/


    For those who want or have to stay with the 0.9.6 series of OpenSSL,
    we strongly recommend that you upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.6j as soon as
    possible.  It's available in the same location as 0.9.7b.

   The distribution file name is:

      o openssl-0.9.7b.tar.gz [normal]
        MD5 checksum: fae4bec090fa78e20f09d76d55b6ccff
      o openssl-0.9.6j.tar.gz [normal]
        MD5 checksum: 52ea996e52bcea5120f193f51469bbb1
      o openssl-engine-0.9.6j.tar.gz [engine]
        MD5 checksum: beae194a369a74de18b4c3472a1d1abe

   The checksums were calculated using the following command:

      openssl md5 < openssl-0.9.7b.tar.gz
      openssl md5 < openssl-0.9.6j.tar.gz
      openssl md5 < openssl-engine-0.9.6j.tar.gz


    Yours,
    The OpenSSL Project Team...
