=====================================================

The following upstream security issues are addressed in this update:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1652.html

=====================================================

NOTE: This update is released into the CentOS-6.5 tree and has a .el6_5 dist
tag, *NOT* the .el6_6 dist tag that Red Hat used for RHEL in the link above.

This update was built against 'CentOS-6.5 + updates' and that is where it is
intended to be used.

The CentOS team will build and release a openssl-1.0.1e-30.el6_6.2.src.rpm as
a zero day update to CentOS-6.6 when that is released as we are currently
building CentOS-6.6 from the released Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources.

Please also note that even after installing this update, further action is
required to mitigate the POODLE issue on CentOS-6. Please see this link for
steps to take and ways to test for both the POODLE and TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV issues.
