Security September 2016: LibreSSL 2.4.3 Released

Centmin Mod + LibreSSL 2.4.3

LibreSSL 2.4.3 is now latest stable release http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-2.4.3-relnotes.txt:

Centmin Mod 123.08stable and 123.09beta01 Github branches corresponding to Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08 stable and Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.09 beta01 have been updated to default to LibreSSL 2.4.3 for new fresh installs. For existing folks, follow below update instructions.

Centmin Mod Nginx Update LibreSSL

For Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08 beta03, .08 stable and higher you can update to LibreSSL 2.4.3 via 2 steps.

Step 1. Updating centmin.sh LIBRESSL_VERSION variable to 2.4.3. Best way is to use centmin.sh menu option 23 submenu option 2 for auto updating Centmin Mod code as outlined at centminmod.com/upgrade.html and at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/new-08-beta-menu-option-updating-centmin-mod-via-git.3084/. That will auto update centmin.sh to latest version which already has LIBRESSL_VERSION='2.4.3' set.

Check your updated Centmin Mod centmin.sh to see if LIBRESSL_VERSION='2.4.3' is set. If not set and you do not have centmin.sh menu option 23 submenu option 1 for git environment setup, then you need to manually update and edit in your persistent config file (create it if it doesn't exist) at /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc and add to it:
Code (Text):
# LibreSSL
LIBRESSL_SWITCH='y'        # if set to 'y' it overrides OpenSSL as the default static compiled option for Nginx server
LIBRESSL_VERSION='2.4.3'   # Use this version of LibreSSL http://www.libressl.org/
Step 2. Then select centmin.sh menu option #4 to upgrade/downgrade Nginx recompile Nginx and specify latest Nginx version i.e. 1.11.4+ or newer.

For example after recompile Nginx version output will show built with LibreSSL 2.4.3

for 123.09 beta01 with NGINXMODULE_ALTORDER=y enabled

Release notes for LibreSSL 2.4.3 http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-2.4.3-relnotes.txt

We have released LibreSSL 2.4.3, which will be arriving in the
LibreSSL directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon. It includes the following
changes:

* Reverted change that cleans up the EVP cipher context in
EVP_EncryptFinal() and EVP_DecryptFinal(). Some software relies on the
previous behaviour.

* Avoid unbounded memory growth in libssl, which can be triggered by a
TLS client repeatedly renegotiating and sending OCSP Status Request
TLS extensions.

* Avoid falling back to a weak digest for (EC)DH when using SNI with
libssl.

The LibreSSL project continues improvement of the codebase to reflect modern,
safe programming practices. We welcome feedback and improvements from the
broader community. Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this
release possible.
