Yes folks, believe it or not, even linux is not always 100% safe. While I love open source, this means there are a LOT of things I will have to check up on and make sure get updated and soon.

While main Linux distributions will not be difficult to patch, there are a number of firmware that run Linux. Including but not limited to routers, proxies, and load balancers. I keep most of my servers/desktops updated daily or weekly, but I'll be jumping on this one.

Actually after looking a little closer, this appears to only affect Client connections. If you use a Linux Desktop, Linux based device, or Open Source software that uses GnuTLS you need to update.
