Comparing what the SA patch says it is doing at https://security.freebsd.org/patches/SA-21:07/openssl-12.patch appears to be only update the libcrypto library and not the openssl wrapper itself, you can verify that after the 12.2-p5 patch was installed that the file /lib/libcrypto.so.111 has been touched and is a newer date than what was on the machine prior to the patch. Yes, this takes some knowledge of the specific patch, and what parts contribute to what it is doing. I don't know the specific decisions on when RELEASE backports security patches vs. upgrading whole source trees. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
