GLIBC system requirements
What are the reasons and implications about this system requirement?
At a glance
- openSSL 1.1.1 is end of life since September 11th 2023, pushing system vendors to use the most recent version 3.0 or 3.1.
- MySQL uses openSSL for secure connections, too. openSSL 3 support is implemented in MySQL since version 8.1.0.
- MySQL 8.1 uses GLIBC function fcntl64, which was introduced in GLIBC version 2.28
Alternatives
openSSL Premium Level support
openSSL offers a paid support option for backports of security bugfixes for version 1.1.1: "Premium Level Support". The costs are US$50000 yearly (see https://www.openssl.org/support/contracts.html#premium).
Use openSSL 1.1.1 as long as possible
As long as there are no known security issues, OS4X may be compiled with the obsoleted openSSL version 1.1.1. If you require such a version, please send a request to support@os4x.com. We will provide you an OS4X version with the outdated openSSL version.
