@sandstrom confirmed. this solves the problem

Do _NOT_ use this as a "fix" for CVE-2016-2107!

Just upgrade your OpenSSL to 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.1 (for Xenia) or 1.0.2d-0ubuntu1.5 (for Wily). These versions, although not the h version, are PATCHED to include (among others) the fix for CVE-2016-2107!

Using an _UNSECURED_ FTP method for downloading the source _WITHOUT VERIFYING_ the SHA256 hash, or PGP signature is stupid enough, manually compiling and installing such system libraries is not a very good way of making sure your system is up-to-date in the future!

Oh and by the way: yes, also for 14.04 (Trusty) OpenSSL version 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.19 is patched...

sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libssl1.0.0 openssl

it's work 👍

Hello everyone,

I'm running with SmartOS on Joyent server and still Ssllabs verification fails and persistent.

I have following openSSL version in my server

$ openssl version
# OpenSSL 1.1.0  25 Aug 2016

After upgrading openssl to 1.1.0, I restarted running instance of the server.

I did following steps to update openSSL

$ wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.0.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf openssl-1.1.0.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.1.0
$ ./config
$ make
$ make test
$ sudo make install
$ rm -rf openssl-1.1.0.tar.gz
$ rm -rf openssl-1.1.0

# after these steps are succesfully done, I verified openSSL version and it was updated as per above code block and then I restarted my Joyent instance.

Anybody know what should be problem now?

Thanks

@ankurranpariya4066 in my case after update openssl i had to rebuild my webserver (nginx)

For me it was

sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libssl1.0.0 openssl
sudo service apache2 restart

openssl-1.0.2h.tar.gz is no longer available.

Change to openssl-1.0.2k.tar.gz and follow the above instructions.

All will be good.

Im trying to update a server and I still am getting a failure for the vulnerability.
Any ideas? I have installed 1.0.2k

Solution:
On CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux :

Run below code:

yum clean all
yum update openssl
reboot

On Ubuntu and Debian

Run below code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssl
reboot

It work for me and get A+, Hope it'll help you.

in line6, it should be wget ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2l.tar.gz

openssl1.0.2h is already not exists.
