How to install *.pkg.tar.tar on linux?


Hi Guys,

I need some suggestion as how to install

openssl-1.0.1.g-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.tar

How to untar them?
I tried few commands but did not work.

I need to upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1.g as it is not vunlerable to some threats CVE-2014-0160

First thing to try is to see a report on the tar
Code:
tar -tvf openssl-1.0.1.g-1-i686.pkg.tar.tar
If that complains or doesn't recognize the tar file, try removing one of the .tar extensions and trying again. If that complains or doesn't recognize the tar file, try removing the other .tar extension and see if it is merely a .pkg file where someone changed the names. In a tar file you should be able to see filenames which are part of the tar; therefore if openssl-1.0.1.g-1-i686.pkg is in there you should be able to grep and "see" that name within the tar file itself. You should be able to read a .pkg file; there should be ascii information in there to describe what it is and what it does. So check out these files and determine if they really are what the extension say they are.

Hi,

these are strange package names: where did you find them? In general, the best way to update a given software is to rely on packages provided by your distribution. According to the name of your current package, I assume that you are running RHEL / CentOS? Because their maintainers promptly fixed/disabled the vulnerable feature on April 8 already, that is, right after the CVE-2014-0160 vulnerability was announced:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0376.html
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/ce...il/020248.html

Therefore, your current package (openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.7) should be safe. Regarding the latest openssl vulnerabilities, a new update (openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.14) was released a few days ago:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0625.html
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6....i386/Packages/
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6....6_64/Packages/

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Philip
