4.1 OpenSSL packages updated to fix CVE-2018-0739 and other security issues
Security fixes were applied to the OpenSSL packages that are shipped with Oracle Linux 7 and are included in this update release. These fixes also include a fix for CVE-2018-0739. (Bug ID 28584683)
4.2 sosreport fixed to run on UEFI systems
An issue that caused sosreport to generate
errors within the grub2-plugin-errors.txt
file when it was run on UEFI systems is resolved. (Bug ID
26586473)
4.3 grub2 fix to resolve a SCAP policy failure on /boot/efi permissions
A fix was applied to grub2 to correct the
permissions of files within the /boot/efi
directory. This fix resolves a conflict with another package,
but also resolves a longstanding issue where rpm verification
would flag files in this directory as having invalid file modes
affecting compliance with the United States Government Defense
Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical
Implementation Guides (STIGs), as highlighted by the Security
Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). (Bug ID 27166026)
