[nycphp-talk] OpenSSL Patches

There is a new patch available for OpenSSL (versions 0.9.7c
and 0.9.6k.)

It turns out under the SSL/TLS parser is vulnerable to a
specially crafted malicious security certificate (X.509)
which could cause it to crash .

This means you would have no way to connect via secure
sockets. The sky is definitely not falling here (my opinion)
but you might want to read about it.
