perfSONAR Announcements

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Greetings;

Please see below for an important security alert related to a package on 
CentOS version 6.5 (the operating system that underpins the pS Performance 
Toolkit versions 3.3.x).  This issue is described in more detail at the 
following site:

  http://heartbleed.com/

The perfSONAR project is recommending that all users run 'yum update' to pull 
down these packages immediately.  

Our read of the CVE and affiliated documentation does indicate there is a 
potential for compromise of private key material that may impact the host, or 
users of the system.  For those that have concerns about this, the project is 
recommending that users regenerate the host certificate.  If you are using 
the provided 'self signed' certificate, you can follow these instructions to 
regenerate new credentials:

> # build a new key
> /usr/bin/openssl genrsa > /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key
> 
> # create  a new self-signed cert
> cd /etc/pki/tls/certs
>  make testcert
> 
> # restart apache
> sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart


If you have installed a customized certificate, refer to instructions 
specific to that process.  Please send along any questions to the developers 
list 
()
 if you have them.  

Thanks;

-jason
