Description H D Moore 2005-06-04 11:50:02 UTC
The CA certificate for the Metasploit Framework update server has changed. This
will prevent the msfupdate feature from working until the certificate is updated
in the ebuild. The 2.4 packages have been updated and re-released with the new
CA cert. Please refer to
http://metasploit.com/projects/Framework/docs/ssl_update.txt for details. To fix
this issue, just replace the current framework-2.4.tar.gz with the one available
from the Downloads page at metasploit.com and update the MD5.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. msfupdate -u
2. Look for the SSL error


Actual Results:  
SSL error

Expected Results:

After getting the framework from their mirrors, I regenerated the digest,
re-emerged the package and I am still getting the SSL problem. Will try again later.

My bad, didn't realize the new correct file had -snapshot in it.
Thanks for reporting, in cvs.
Comment 3 H D Moore 2005-06-04 16:11:54 UTC
The new correct file is not the snapshot (that changes md5's everytime there is
an update). The following log shows that the standard 2.4 package appears to be
fixed.

Hmmm, you're right. I don't know why it didn't work before, but the current
release works now. Fixed in cvs.

Thanks again and sorry for making a fool out of myself.
Comment 5 H D Moore 2005-06-04 17:56:22 UTC
I am the one who lost the CA key, no worries ;-) Thanks!
