only me, 50% of the web should be doing the same thing tonight. openssl
is used by everyone and every body. this is a real screw up on the
openssl people front. Their is no problem with the list, a buffer overrun
was found in the SSL libs that is used to secure privacy on the web. The
hole is big enough that the machine can be taken over which is very very
bad, extremity when you consider that SSL is a security package in it
self. This is preventive medicine, thing of it as a condom before someone
try to give us the clap :-)
