"[...]Recommendations for users of OpenSSL =====================================

Users of OpenSSL 0.9.8 should update to the OpenSSL 0.9.8j release which contains a patch to correct this issue.[...]"

0.9.8j is working well, we should add test cases for OpenSSL communication on BOINC alpha test

(In [16883]) - lib: check return values of RSA_*() functions.

Also fix a memory leak, missing RSA_free(). Fixes #823.

Resolution: fixed
Status: closed → reopened
Version: 6.4.5 → 6.6.37

Reopening, it is still not fixed in the 6.6 branch. Please pay attention to fix bugs not only in trunk, but also in active branches, especially when it comes to security issues.
