  • OpenSSL Versions End of Life Dates

    From Randall@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 4 06:20:06 2022
    Hi Everyone,

    The OpenSSL team has just published the end-of-life dates (they call them LTS or Long Term Support dates). These are the dates where specific version series will be supported by that team for the Open Source community (a.k.a., us without support
    contracts). Here they are:

    1.1.1 will be supported until 11th September 2023.
    3.0 will be supported until 7th September 2026.

    Users are encouraged to migrate to 3.0 as soon as they are able.

    Note that ITUGLIB does not have control over these dates.

    Kind Regards,
    Randall Becker

    Hi Randall,

    Just a quick question regarding OPENSSL 1.1.1 from Tuglib (dated 16th March 2022)

    I've downloaded the Tar file and installed it.
    Setup the library location etc.; and OpenSSL starts up ok.

    But ... any operation that required random numbers creates EGD errors :( and fails.

    This is on an NonStop NSX box running L20.10.00:

    OpenSSL> version -a
    OpenSSL 1.1.1n 15 Mar 2022
    built on: Wed Mar 16 02:20:50 2022 UTC

    Seeding source: EGD ( "/var/run/egd-pool" "/dev/egd-pool" "/etc/egd-pool" "/etc/entropy" )

    Any thoughts?

    Regards,

    Peter Collins

    Hi Peter,

    PRNGD should be run out of coreutils. The ITUGLIB OpenSSL will use it for 1.x releases. At 3.x, we use the hardware randomizer so PRNGD is no longer required.
