exactly. thats the problem...the vendors are backporting things to older versions rather then upgrading the version provided
Because OpenSSL changes their API in minor minor versions of the software. So binaries build for version X will break with version X+1. It's retarded. For FreeRADIUS, we've put extra work in to make sure this doesn't happen. When we change the API, we also bump the version number. And then server core checks for version incompatibilities, and refuses to start if you're mixing incompatible binaries and libraries. Because we want our users to be happy. Unlike OpenSSL. Alan DeKok.
