Based on the CVE, it looks like older versions may also be vulnerable. http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2010-5298 On 4/29/2014 9:35 PM, FreeBSD Security Advisories wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA512 > > ============================================================================= > FreeBSD-SA-14:09.openssl Security Advisory > The FreeBSD Project > > Topic: OpenSSL use-after-free vulnerability > > Category: contrib > Module: openssl > Announced: 2014-04-30 > Affects: FreeBSD 10.x. > Corrected: 2014-04-30 04:03:05 UTC (stable/10, 10.0-STABLE) > 2014-04-30 04:04:42 UTC (releng/10.0, 10.0-RELEASE-p2) > CVE Name: CVE-2010-5298 > > For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, > including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the > following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>. > > I.
