[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1579143, member: 71075"] So, OS X users are affected by the bug. Such a suggestion also fails to recognize that various applications leverage OpenSSL and may use different versions than the system provided one. Blanket statements such as "OS X is not affected" fail to see that, with software such as OpenSSL, it might very well be. WD MyCloud software, LastPass and LibreOffice were all vulnerable for example, all software that could be run on a Mac. This issue is bigger than just the OS, effectively making the OS vulnerable.
