This update fixes possible denial-of-service security issues:
A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from
an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be
NULL, but OpenSSL did not correctly check for this case. A fix has been
applied to prevent a NULL pointer dereference that results in OpenSSL
crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source
using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will be vulnerable to this
issue prior to this fix.
OpenSSL APIs that were vulnerable to this are: PKCS12_parse(),
PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes()
and PKCS12_newpass().
When function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is called on RSA public keys,
a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite.
For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this
computation completes quickly. However, if n is an overly large prime,
then this computation would take a long time.
An application that calls EVP_PKEY_public_check() and supplies an RSA key
obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service
attack.
The function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is not called from other OpenSSL
functions however it is called from the OpenSSL pkey command line
application. For that reason that application is also vulnerable if used
with the "-pubin" and "-check" options on untrusted data.
To resolve this issue RSA keys larger than OPENSSL_RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS will
now fail the check immediately with an RSA_R_MODULUS_TOO_LARGE error reason.
Fix excessive time spent in DH check / generation with large Q parameter
value.
Applications that use the functions DH_generate_key() to generate an
X9.42 DH key may experience long delays. Likewise, applications that use
DH_check_pub_key(), DH_check_pub_key_ex() or EVP_PKEY_public_check()
to check an X9.42 DH key or X9.42 DH parameters may experience long delays.
Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from
an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.

extra/sendmail/sendmail-8.18.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
sendmail through 8.17.2 allows SMTP smuggling in certain configurations.
Remote attackers can use a published exploitation technique to inject e-mail
messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF
protection mechanism. This occurs because sendmail supports <LF>.<CR><LF>
but some other popular e-mail servers do not. This is resolved in 8.18 and
later versions with 'o' in srv_features.

A test mass rebuild here didn't find any new failure-to-build-from-source, so
we'll go ahead and upgrade to the new glibc. Enjoy! :-)

Don't add elilo boot support to the 32-bit installer image. This had been
done previously, but began being siliently dropped when the 32-bit kernel
changed from i586 to i686. But it's just as well since UEFI cannot directly
boot a 32-bit kernel anyway. Legacy BIOS is the only option.
