I believe Scott's joke was referring to CVE-2015-1793 reported two weeks
ago, and just announced and patched today. This SSL issue allows an
attacker (or a site) to "cause certain checks on untrusted certificates
to be bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate."

It only affects the most recent OpenSSL versions (1.0.2c, 1.0.2b, 1.0.1n
and 1.0.1o).
