Ubuntu: openssl-blacklist update

LinuxSecurity.com: USN-612-3 addressed a weakness in OpenSSL certificate and key generation in OpenVPN by introducing openssl-blacklist to aid in detecting vulnerable private keys. This update enhances the openssl-vulnkey tool to check X.509 certificates as well, and provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 6.06. While the OpenSSL in Ubuntu 6.06 was not vulnerable, openssl-blacklist is now provided for Ubuntu 6.06 for checking certificates and keys that may have been imported on these systems.

NAME
SSL_set_verify_result - override result of peer certificate verification SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h> void SSL_set_verify_result(SSL *ssl, long verify_result); DESCRIPTION
SSL_set_verify_result() sets verify_result of the object ssl to be the result of the verification of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any. NOTES
SSL_set_verify_result() overrides the verification result. It only changes the verification result of the ssl object. It does not become part of the established session, so if the session is to be reused later, the original value will reappear. The valid codes for verify_result are documented in verify(1). RETURN VALUES
SSL_set_verify_result() does not provide a return value. SEE ALSO
