That's correct.

Of course not *every* PHP based application is affected by the OpenSSL bug.

But I refuse to assume the opposite that everything is OK as long as no
one exactly can describe, how the OpenSSL bug may affect PHP
applications. Because concerning PHP in general there *is* a problem
which *can* affect PHP based applications as long as you use a PHP
version without updated OpenSSL libraries.
