New OpenSSL Security Advisory Announced

Posted by samzenpus on from the protect-ya-neck dept.

New submitter eyeareque writes: It's time to patch OpenSSL again. The OpenSSL project has patched several moderate- and low-severity security vulnerabilities and also has added protection against the Logjam attack in new releases of the software. Personally I wish that OpenSSL released these in a predictable cadence. Patch Tuesday maybe?

    Would you like to discuss all the vulnerabilities in Windows various versions, that has led to MILLIONS of different Malware??? Why doesn't Mickey$oft fix most of these??? They simply refuse!!!

    I will take Linux, Open Source and Free Software any day of the week, and will deal with any flaws that come up. They are usually corrected quite quickly, and in this case, I am sure they spent a lot of time testing to inure all is fixed.

    I sleep very well at night using Linux, and NOT using Windows software as much as humanly possible.
