problem description
This update fixes a protocol downgrading attack in openssl which allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force the usage of SSLv2. This happens due to the work-around code of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING which is included in SSL_OP_ALL. (CAN-2005-2969)
Additionally this update adds the Geotrusts Equifax Root1 CA certificate, to allow correct certification against Novell Inc. websites and services.
