I'm sure most of you have heard about the recent
OpenSSL heartbleed voulnerability over the last
few days. I have updated OpenSSL to the latest
version which includes a fix for this.

Please update at your earliest convenience as the
data that OpenSSL leaks can include passwords,
authentication cookies or the server's private
RSA key.

Changing all the private keys, certificates and
passwords that may have been transmitted over
SSL on the affected servers is also recommended.

I wouldn't normally bother mentioning an update
of any single package on the mailing list, but this
bug is really bad as it can lead to revealing of
the server's private key.

It may be another few hours before a mirror near
you has the latest updates. In the meantime, you
can download the RPMs manually from the primary
site. The fixed version is openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6.7.
