Thanks for the help guys, this is how I upgraded bitcoind...

You can download the latest version here: https://bitcoin.org/en/download You simply stop the old version, replace the binary, and restart again.

then I followed the other updates. Now I just need to regenerated my https keys.

Thanks!

Note, only the 32-bit binary worked for me, even though I have a 64-bit OS and hardware.

also make sure you check the signature of the downloaded binary.

it's also worth keeping in mind that ubuntu have a 'phone home' feature.

In addition to that, make sure you update openssl and libopenssl to 1.0.1g (or equivalent) as well if you haven't already, and restart any affected services (like ssh). Patching bitcoind won't do you much good if you leave ssh and other services vulnerable, as attackers could simply attack your ssh/web/vpn/etc. service until they find a way into your system and attack or download the wallet from there.

This should be very easy for you to do. AFAIK Ubuntu will have backported the fix to all versions of ubuntu, including 12.04

I recommend just doing this:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

That should ensure you're safe from the OpenSSL bug, also make sure you download the updated version of Bitcoin.

Here the deal, I am running the command line bitcoind server. Here is my getinfo,

{
"version" : 90000,
"protocolversion" : 70002,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : xxxxxxxxx,
"blocks" : 295291,
"timeoffset" : 0,
"connections" : 1,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 6119726089.12814713,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1397234124,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"unlocked_until" : 0,
"errors" : "URGENT: Upgrade required: see https://www.bitcoin.org/heartbleed"
}

Simple question, how to I update from version 90000 to the newer patched version.

Thanks.
