I just discovered this, too.  So the next question was, what else
depends on openssl?

mail jtosburn # qpkg --installed --query-deps openssl
dev-libs/openssl-0.9.6k *
DEPENDED ON BY:
        dev-php/mod_php-4.3.2
        dev-php/mod_php-4.3.3-r1
        net-dns/bind-9.2.2-r2
        net-ftp/ftp-0.17-r3
        net-libs/c-client-2002d
        net-mail/courier-imap-1.7.3-r1
        net-mail/postfix-1.1.11.20020917
        net-mail/uw-imap-2002d
        net-misc/ntp-4.1.2
        net-misc/openssh-3.7.1_p2
        net-misc/wget-1.8.2-r2
        net-www/links-2.1_pre9
        net-www/mod_ssl-2.8.15

So how do you know if something needs to be recompiled when a new
version of openssl comes along?  Likewise with any given package, when a
vulnerability is discovered and patched, currently the GLSA's only
describe patching that particular program, and never deal with
dependencies.  Sounds like an achilles heel in the system.
