So the NSA, which is concerned about our security, states that we should upgrade the TLS / dtls clients on the servers we use with the latest version of OpenSSL (1.0.1g) or run a recompile on the old version of OpenSSL with the option "DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS . ”

Continuing very seriously to be jealous of our NSA reports that many operating systems and clients in the server software run OpenSSL, that means they are vulnerable to Heartbleed. In this case, the secret service suggests that you contact the software vendor to see if there is a risk and ask for an update to fix things.

"For any systems that are affected by this vulnerability, use TLS / DTLS, and have exposure to Internet connectivity for potential exploitation of this vulnerability, revoke and reissue certificates and other credentials used on those systems after applying the update," " NSA.

There is suspicion that NSA knew about Heartbleed for years and kept it secret in order to exploit the vulnerability. Following the latest publications that revealed vulnerability, the US secret service considered it good to let us know, keeping pretensions as much as possible.
