Updated openssl packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.

Bug Fix

BZ#848406
When a save operation of a private key file in the encrypted format was attempted in FIPS mode, the resulting file was corrupted because the PEM encryption uses hash algorithms that are not available in FIPS mode. With this update, the PKCS#8 encrypted format is used to write private keys to files in FIPS mode. This file format does not use algorithms unavailable in FIPS mode, thus preventing this bug.
All users of OpenSSL should upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
