   An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has three
   fixes is now available.

Description:


   OpenSSL has been updated to fix several security issues:

   *

   CVE-2012-4929: Avoid the openssl CRIME attack by
   disabling SSL compression by default. Setting the
   environment variable "OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB" to "no"
   enables compression again.

   Please note that openssl on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10
   is not built with compression support.

   *

   CVE-2013-0169: Timing attacks against TLS could be
   used by physically local attackers to gain access to
   transmitted plain text or private keymaterial. This issue
   is also known as the "Lucky-13" issue.

   *

   CVE-2013-0166: A OCSP invalid key denial of service
   issue was fixed.
