Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2002-0072

Package name:      freeswan
Summary:           New upstream version
Date:              2002-10-17
Affected versions: TSL 1.5

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  Our project is Free S/WAN for Linux. Our overall goal is to make
  the Internet more secure and more private, to make Internet
  "wiretapping" entirely impractical.

  IPSEC is designed to support (among other things) VPNs or virtual
  private networks, which allow multiple sites from an organisation
  (optionally, and its clients, suppliers, etc.) to communicate
  securely over an insecure Internet by encrypting all communication
  between the sites. We want to extend that to a real private network
  in which anyone who choses to communicate securely can do so,
  in which strong encryption is universally available.
  

Problem description:
  The 1.98b is considered the current stable version.

Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
  Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
  package, you may want to remove it from your system.
