On Linux we utilize whatever version of OpenSSL is maintained by the
distro.

Since the client doesn't use SSL in a server-role it doesn't need to be
backported to older branches.

Charlie already updated OpenSSL bundled with the OSX client. Updates for
the Windows and Linux clients should hopefully be in the pipeline (if
affected).

Projects need to check which OpenSSL version is installed on their
servers. Many, like Einstein@Home, should still be running 0.98 which
isn't affected. If you run any of the affected versions, update/upgrade
to 1.0.1g or equivalent (Debian for instance ships a patched version of
1.0.1f for wheezy). If you used an affected version you should get a new
SSL certificate (key) as you should consider it as being compromised.
Unfortunately, that means all previous encrypted data transfers should
also be considered compromised which in turn means your volunteers
should be notified to change their passwords, obviously after you
renewed your certificate keys.


HTH,
Oliver
