No code changes were made between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1. Only the dependencies were changed.

    Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1g. This release fixes the following vulnerabilities which can affect the Bitcoin Core software:


and

It is especially important to upgrade if you currently have version 0.9.0 installed and are using the graphical interface OR you are using bitcoind from any pre-0.9.1 version, and have enabled SSL for RPC and have configured allowip to allow rpc connections from potentially hostile hosts.

you are not alone... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=575342.0

Looks like you have to do it by hand, like this guy here:

How can I Upgrade my Bitcoin QT?

I use Linux Ubunto and I don't know what to do.



Being a noob myself I asked the same question and got no answer here. Just to have it clear I was using bitcoin 0.9.0 from Ubuntu PPA and
had my libssl1.0.0 updated however in the debug window it still showed old/insecure version of OpenSSL.

So here is what I did:

-First thing first back up ur wallet.
-Shut down your client.
-Now make a backup of your current bitcoin-qt executable/shared library which should be in /usr/bin
Code:
cd /usr/bin
sudo mv bitcoin-qt bitcoin-qt.bckup
-Download and verify bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz
-Navigate to your Home directory
Code:
cd ~
-and then to Downloads
Code:
cd Downloads
-unzip what you've downloaded
Code:
tar xvzf bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz
-Navigate to just unzipped directory
Code:
cd bitcoin-0.9.1-linux
-and then depending on whether your system is 32 or 64 do
Code:
cd bin/32

/* alternatively if your system is 64 do */

cd bin/64
-copy bitcoin-qt from this directory to /usr/bin
Code:
sudo cp bitcoin-qt /usr/bin

-start your client the usual way.

Hope it helps...
