OpenSSL has released updates patching nine vulnerabilities, some of which may allow an attacker to cause a Denial of 
Service (DoS) [ http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST04-015 ] condition or force the client to revert to a less secure 
Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 protocol. The following updates are available:

    -OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zb

   - OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0n

   - OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1i

US-CERT recommends users and administrators review the OpenSSL Security Advisory [ 
https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140806.txt ] for additional information and apply the necessary updates.
