I just installed update openssl_1.0.1e-2+deb7u5 and libssl1.0.0_1.0.1e-2+deb7u5 on debian wheezy, so it seems the fix is now available.

You need to manually restart all processes linking libssl, too.

Something like "lsof -n | grep ssl | grep DEL" can identify processes using the DELeted old version of libssl after apt-get upgrading.

Just saw the following updated when I did an 'apt-get clean; aptitude dist-upgrade' on Debian Wheezy:

libssl1.0.0 openssh-client openssh-server openssl ssh

  • I just wanted to point out that you really do not need the `apt-get clean.` Obviously your work flow is your business but I wanted to speak up in case you thought it was needed before upgrading packages.

    • I meant to say 'apt-get update'. Thanks for the heads up. I like to be sure I have the latest package metadata.

Just received an upgrade on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as well, apt-get clean issued before updating.

EDIT: If you are using DigitalOcean, the update is not yet on their mirrors. Issue 'sudo sed -i "s/mirrors\.digitalocean/archive.ubuntu/g" /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get clean;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade' to get the patch. Check the comment by 0x0 above ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7549842 ) to find any services which need restarting.
