openssl and Record of death bug

English Network/Internet
#1

I need to determine what versions of openSUSE 11.0 11.1 and 11.2, both 32bit and 64bit, are affected by the openssl “record of death bug”.

http://openssl.org/news/secadv_20100324.txt

From openssl link:

Affected versions depend on the C compiler used with OpenSSL:

  • If ‘short’ is a 16-bit integer, this issue applies only to OpenSSL 0.9.8m.
  • Otherwise, this issue applies to OpenSSL 0.9.8f through 0.9.8m.

I need to make a report to my higher ups on what computers are affected, and I not a programmer so I do not know how to tell what is in the compiler. Thanks.
