OpenSSL should probably be upgraded to 0.9.8.c (or possibly 0.9.7.k) because of the security patch.

http://www.openssl.org/ http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv20060905.txt I'm not sure which version shipped with the 2.4 windows binaries, but externals (for 2.5) still points to 0.9.8.a, which is vulnerable.

If there is any change, it should be to 0.9.7k; we shouldn't switch to a new "branch" of OpenSSL in micro releases.

However, I'm uncertain whether I can do the update in next weeks.
