First, this may be the wrong place for the post, but since the main thing is for software, I figured it was OK

I need to get this fixed in a very old version of Fedora... F14
due to that some drivers for a RAID Controller won't run on a newer kernel.

Also seen that there is a vulnerability in unzip: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/71790

Is there a way to fix these in F14 with kernel v 2.6.3x without trashing something else?
If so, how do I do it, I tried without luck and can't find any solution for it.

PS. Do NOT tell me to get a newer version of Fedora!!
If you feel like doing that start reading this post from start again and
again until you get it

compile openssl latest from source

The openssl and zip software has nothing to do with kernel.

You can grab the sources of appropriate version of openssl from openssl.org and install. Be careful in picking correct version. There are many stable series. Within a series we can hope that the newer version is abi compatible with your current version.

Same for unzip.

Also you can see sources of F14 rpm's to see how they are built.

the foreveryday security holes that will never be fixed

have you thought about using CentOS 6.6 or 7.0

I'll try the source and see if I can get it working, thx

@John VV, no didn't think of those I'll check them out, although CentOS 7 has kernel 3.10.x so that is out.
and yes in this case the kernel version is important due to the RAID controller drivers which won't compile on newer kernel version and is also unsupported.
