Hi,

It seems some rumors are spreading about an attack presented later this
week against sslv3/tlsv1.0:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/19/beast_exploits_paypal_ssl/

Whatever this attack looks like in detail, all news one can find at the
moment suggest that only sslv3/tls 1.0 is affected and going to tls
1.1 or 1.2 should fix it.

AFAIK, openssl current release 1.0.0 has no tls 1.2, but the
planned openssl 1.0.1 should have.

Which leads to the question: Is there a planned timeline for a 1.0.1
release and could this be accelerated if the issue turns out to be
serious?
