Name        : botan
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 1.10.9
Release     : 4.fc21
URL         : http://botan.randombit.net/
Summary     : Crypto library written in C++
Description :
Botan is a BSD-licensed crypto library written in C++. It provides a
wide variety of basic cryptographic algorithms, X.509 certificates and
CRLs, PKCS \#10 certificate requests, a filter/pipe message processing
system, and a wide variety of other features, all written in portable
C++. The API reference, tutorial, and examples may help impart the
flavor of the library.

Update Information:

Update to Botan 1.10.9, with these changes:

* Fixed EAX tag verification to run in constant time.
* The default TLS policy now disables SSLv3.
* A crash could occur when reading from a blocking random device if the device initially indicated that entropy was available but a concurrent process drained the entropy pool before the read was initiated.
* Fix decoding indefinite length BER constructs that contain a context sensitive tag of zero. Github pull 26 from Janusz Chorko.
* The botan-config script previously tried to guess its prefix from the location of the binary. However this was error prone, and now the script assumes the final installation prefix matches the value set during the build. Github issue 29.

Additionally, these changes have been made to the Fedora package:

* Re-enable cleared ECC.
* Disable gmp engine.
* Use _pkgdocdir.
