how can I manually update openssl

Post by manwithoutachance »

the current version in the modem is openssl 1.0.2g but openssl ist already at 1.0.2j or 1.1.0b.

I find that it is important to always have the latest version, so I thought to update it manually.

for that I have found on the internet following steps:

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl 1.0.2j.tar.gz
tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.2j.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.2j
./config --prefix=/usr/
make
sudo make install

Unfortunately, I have no idea whether that is correct. Please can someone change so that it works.

would be really great and many thanks in advance for :D

You need to recompile it in the firmware.

A lot of the issues are DoS related and not data vulnerability or leakage. As such I don't consider them critical to update immediately.
