They said its not such a big security issue like lastime so.
Looks like after "heartbleed" bug every company hired internal developers to review the code of openssl.
That's actually good thing for open source software.
Time to upgrade..
A good thing only if they contribute back
Looks like Debian hasn't updated their repos yet, but Ubuntu has (at least on 12.04).
Debian has already updated, i patched some servers already.
For what I'm seeing, CentOS 6.5 has not yet updated their repos.
Yep, you are right.
