  • FixedRed Hat Stronghold 4redhat_csaf

    We have backported the security fixes for the versions of OpenSSL and mm included in Stronghold 4. The fixed packages are now available via the update agent service; run $ bin/agent from the Stronghold 4 install root to upgrade an existing Stronghold 4 installation to the new package versions. Due to a bug in the update agent, users of Solaris on Intel platforms should create a file "conf/update-agent.conf" in the install root, containing the following two lines: [agent] ignore: RPMPROB_FILTER_IGNOREARCH After the appropriate updates have been applied, it will be necessary to manually restart the server with the following commands: $ bin/stop-server $ bin/start-server
