“Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS, Centos 6.5, Fedora 18, OpenBSD 5.3, FreeBSD 8.4, NetBSD 5.0.2 and OpenSUSE 12.2 are all listed as vulnerable...”

It’s those pesky windows machines again....

Wait! What?

This affects any machines that run these vulnerable versions of OpenSSL, including 'doze machines and maccompukers as well I would imagine. Note however that as usual it is the 'nix crowd that discovered this bug and patched it, with not a whimper from the MS pukes or macophiles. Macmachines run OS-X, I think, which is unix-based so they should really take a closer look at this.

I understand some gaming consoles also use some version of OpenSSL for online games and logins, but then again they along with the macs are primarily graphics boxen and obviously have little need for REAL computing and security.
