Hello Folks, Could you please guide me, what should be my OpenSSl security updates and how to download this ? Because I am facing issue in my SLES 11 SP 3 with openssl Version running Version : 0.9.8j Vendor: SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany Release : 0.50.1 Build Date: Mon Mar 25 11:10:09 2013 Do I need to upgrade my openssl version here and patch ? Or else I can patch on my current existing openssl version. One more problem is that, I have no registered zypper repo installed. What should be my approach here ? Advice please. Regards Chandan.M ---

Hi So you don’t have a current license to receive updates? Have a look here for ones that are public? [https://download.suse.com/patch/finder/#bu=suse&familyId=7261&productId=42045&dateRange=&startDate=&endDate=&priority=&architecture=&keywords=ssl&xf=7261&xp=7261\_42045](https://download.suse.com/patch/finder/#bu=suse&familyId=7261&productId=42045&dateRange=&startDate=&endDate=&priority=&architecture=&keywords=ssl&xf=7261&xp=7261_42045) Upgrade the system to SLES 11 SP4, grab an evaluation code, but why not register the system proper and receive updates and support? ---

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. These are some of our legacy systems which need to be upgraded to higher version. Does it required to upgrade to SP4 to patch that ? Also I am trying to download, but patch is restricted. Is this because of the registration or access not permitted ? Restriction status: Restricted Regards Chandan.M ---

There is the possibility of installing OpenSSL 1.0.1 on SLES11 SP3 and SP4 (included out of the box with SLES12) via an additional security module if you have a subscription - please see [https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/introduci](https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/introduci) ng-the-suse-linux-enterprise-11-security-module/ (URL may not wrap). ## HTH.
