Two ways to manually update OpenSSL on Ubuntu: a quick one-liner with curl and make, or a full bash script with GPG signature verification. Useful for patching vulnerabilities like Heartbleed.
Easy way:
- Below the single command line to compiling and install the last openssl version.
1
| $ curl https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1h.tar.gz | tar xz && cd openssl-1.0.1h && sudo ./config && sudo make && sudo make install
|
- Replace old openssl binary file by the new one via a symlink.
1
| $ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl `which openssl`
|
