Title: Dev Question: Heartbleed: What do I need to update?
Post by: Dimelord on May 13, 2014, 12:57:24 AM
I am currently making a client update for my "coin" I won't name it so that the thread can stay here. What files need to be updated with the fixed version of openssl? Im new to programming, and I dont want to screw something up.

Sorry... I post a lot of threads here... I'm just trying to learn  ;D

as for your question, you have to update the openssl libraries to the latest version (1.0.1g)

You'll need to update the SSL version to 1.0.1.g on any nodes you run and recompile the daemon (the easy part).

Then you need also need to upgrade SSL on Windows, Linux and OSX (if you have wallets for these) and recompile the wallets - which is probably not what you wanted to hear :(

just fork it from already patched sources and you are set.

false : there was no code change ; not a single line in core client(s).

If you distribute or use binaries statically linked against openssl, update your openssl library (either system-wide or the local one you're using) and rebuild your binaries, that's it.

you could also eventually update your dependencies rules to force users building their own clients from your codebase to use a patched (as in 'recent') openssl library.

You pretty much need to update and change all passwords.
