Patch ID: PVCO_04086

* 3868426 (Tracking ID: 3326146)

SYMPTOM:
Segmentation fault in dedup.

DESCRIPTION:
The deduplication failed during the incremental scan as it failed to allocate 
memory for the btree data 
structure at the fcl record processing stage, and NULL pointer check was not made there.

RESOLUTION:
Added NULL checks, error handling at necessary functions and included couple of 
other btree fixes.

Patch ID: PVCO_04045

* 3651859 (Tracking ID: 3621205)

SYMPTOM:
OpenSSL common vulnerability exposure (CVE): POODLE and Heartbleed.

DESCRIPTION:
VRTSfsadv package uses old versions of OpenSSL which are vulnerable to POODLE(CVE-2014-3566) and Hearbleed(CVE-2014-0160). By upgrading to OpenSSL 0.9.8zc, many security vulnerabilities have been fixed.

RESOLUTION:
The VRTSfsadv package is built with OpenSSL 0.9.8zc..

mount checkpoints on a cluster.

DESCRIPTION:
While mounting checkpoints, the fsdedupadm(1M) command fails to
parse the cluster mount option correctly, resulting in the mount failure.

RESOLUTION:
The code is modified to parse cluster mount options correctly in the
fsdedupadm(1M) operation.
