I am not sure that I understand the statement correctly.
Between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 there is no binary compatibility. This is a well
known fact that is also officially stated by the openssl developers team.
Binary compatibility between releases is not to be expected before version
1.0 of the OpenSSL library.
If you are using shared libraries, you either have to recompile your
application or must make sure, that the correct shared library is being
used. This is typically assured by including the version number into
the shared library name: "libssl.so.0.9.6" etc.
So if you run an openssh that was compiled against version 0.9.5a of
OpenSSL, the 0.9.5a version of the shared library is obligatory. You
cannot use the 0.9.6 shared library instead.
Is this what the statement was about?
Best regards,
Lutz
