Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-01-06 13:14:23 UTC 
Please convert to use the system's crypto policy for SSL and TLS:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:CryptoPolicies

If this program is compiled against gnutls, change the default priority string to be "@SYSTEM" or to use gnutls_set_default_priority().

If this program is compiled against openssl, and there is no default cipher list specified, you don't need to modify it. Otherwise replace the default cipher list with "PROFILE=SYSTEM".

In both cases please verify that the application uses the system's crypto policies.

If the package is already using the system-wide crypto policies, or it does not use SSL or TLS, no action is required, the bug can simply be closed.

Comment 4 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-03-13 15:46:31 UTC 
I have not checked the actual releases in EPEL, but note that this change for fedora crypto policies, currently, only works in Fedora 21+. Not in RHEL or any other EL.
Comment 5 Gratien D'haese 2015-03-13 16:29:59 UTC 
I would not worry too much about it. I just added "COPY_AS_IS=( ${COPY_AS_IS[@]} /etc/crypto-policies )" to our frame-work build, which means if /etc/crypto-policies directory is present on the system (whatever distro we running it on) it will be copied to the ram disk of our rescue image.

see https://github.com/rear/rear/commit/7ec5eba19c270fee0401422b02462a44f3489722

It is completely harmless, but effective.
