According to the CentOS mailing list, a patched version of the openssl
libraries was released yesterday. Only one version of CentOS (and I guess
RHEL) were affected: 6.5. The patched version of the openssl fixes that (one
also needs to remake certificates (with new private keys!) and revoke the old
ones. CentOS 5 and CentOS 6.4 and earlier were NOT affected. In *my* case
(deepsoft.com) since I run CentOS 5, *my* server is not affected. It is my
understanding that a *large* number of LAMP webservers are running some
version of CentOS. I presume that the system admins of the affected systems
are on the CentOS mailing list and are on top of things.
