Re: [cobalt-security] OPENSSL vulnerability



Hi David,

You then still have a vulnerable OpenSSL installed.

But even upgrading that would not entirely get rid of the entire problem as a 
few applications have been compiled statically against the old OpenSSL. 

Apache for Instance as you can see from a RaQ4's Apache ident string:

Apache/1.3.20 Sun Cobalt (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6b PHP/4.0.6 
mod_auth_pam_external/0.1 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_perl/1.25

So we'll even need a new Apache ... again.
