You need to rebuild and re-install the ports version of OpenSSL, if
you're using it.

You need to rebuild and re-install anything that is statically linked
against OpenSSL libraries (either ports or base).  This is trickier than
it sounds, because you need to either look at the source code /
Makefiles for the software, or use nm(1), objdump(1) or similar to check
for symbols from OpenSSL libraries in your statically linked binaries.
Fortunately, static linking against OpenSSL is a pretty unusual thing to do.

Having done the above, you need to restart anything that loads OpenSSL
shared libraries.  That tends to be most network-aware software, so in
many cases it might be easier to just reboot.

        Cheers,
