I know how to check openssl version, question was about bitcoin-qt binary package from ppa

Just open the debug window and you will see what version of OpenSSL the executable was linked against.

Kind of makes me glad I haven't bothered upgrading openssl in some time.

*blank stare*

Like you said, there is LibreSSL. Cheesy

Because openssl is one giant mess, it's so horrid that it is immune to auditing but it is so widely used that we're just stuck with it.
I for one commend the developers for at least trying to fix it, anyone else would have given up years ago.

Start openssl from terminal wait for it start and use version to see if you have one of the versions in question. Close openssl with quit

Perhaps try apt-get upgrade and see if it wants to install the new version. Then do not hit Y to install?

I think it showed up on my ec2 server this morning and I installed it since it is just a web server. I didn't note it though and am not in a position to check right now.

It looks like there is now a patch for it from Wladimir, per the mail list, btw.

edit:
I did check to see if 14.04 was offering to install the update via apt-get and it was not as of now.

Just for checking, I have version 1.0.1f in ubuntu but I'm using bitcoin core 0.9.2.1 from bitcoin.org, so no need to change or panic, is that right?

And thanks for the heads up, theymos - this is exactly what makes this community awesome!

Lol, what is this? OpenSSL is becoming more of a joke every day.

This is actually a twofold problem - Bitcoin Core's use of signature validation plays an equal part in this.

Arch Linux just updated to 1.0.1k so this affects my node.
Think I'll just shut my node down till the patch.

The question is, why do the OpenSSL developers push compatibility breaking updates to the stable branches? They have 1.0.2-beta for all kinds of experiments.

Is the issue having the new version of OpenSSL at compile-time, or at run-time? (My build of 0.10rc1 links dynamically to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0, but I don't know about 0.9.3 or builds made on the PPA as part of a Debian build process).

Furthermore, to prevent such drama later if OpenSSL is still used down the road, is there a documented, secure, and feasible way to statically link to a known version of OpenSSL that is passing tests?

No surrender, no retreat, no regret.
