https://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html 1.0.1 introduced the heartbeat support. 1.0.0 and earlier are fortunate in that they didnt have it.but then they didnt have things to stop you from being BEASTed so some you win, some you lose. ;) alan

There exists engine_pkcs11, but I'm seeing caveats that it can only work if OpenSSL is statically linked. This may have changed. (It also apparently only does RSA.) -Kyle H On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 10:31 AM, whitehat wrote: > Hi > I am using OpenSSL 1.0.2 on Windows 7 (Visual Studio) and I am tr

Team, I am having a discussions with a few friends about why this OpenSSL vuln (CVE 2014-0160) does not affect SSH. This may be TOO basic for many of you (apologize in advance), but can't think of any other way to prove my point other than speaking to the folks who really know (that's u). Or maybe

But its the apps that need these features. The app should either have the option to disable features of not needed. .. or be coded to not accept such extensions if it doesn't utilise them (which I believe is the correct way) alan

Would it be a good idea to allow disabling these extensions at runtime (via some option)? That would minimize the impact of security holes like this, right? Instead of having to recompile "everything" you would "just" have to set an option (yes, I know, not every application might have support for

True that’s possible, except that it only applies if customers actually install a corrected older version that we make available. We can pour the clean water but can’t make the customer drink it; he might still be drinking the dirty water. Thanks for that suggestion. Dave +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
