What is needed is that the issues found are either patched or documented to be not applicable. I completely agree; however, having just achieved PCI certification for $work in *this* month -- 2 different (unamed pci auditing firms) refused to accept openssl had been patched without version number changes. Kind of odd considering they said my httpd 2.2.14 was vunlerable to the windows mod_issapi cve on fbsd but accepted on face value that we can't possibly be since its not windows and not loaded. Yet the version # didn't change here. Additionally odd, they did accept that 2.2.14 disabled ssl functionality to prevent the issue though not fix it. Yet again the version # didn't change. Interestingly we have some other equipment that requires the client renegotiation but b/c we are leasing it rather then own it, its out of scope. IMHO, its simply easier to always mod the version string in some way rather then trying to argue with them. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1024D/DB9B8C1C B90B FBC3 A3A1 C71A 8E70 3F8C 75B8 8FFB DB9B 8C1C Philip M.
