Re: January Meeting: 2019-01-10 @ 18:30

Hi Bob,

I would like to know more about the OpenSSL malware issue, but I did not
find any server bug on the their official website. (Vulnerabilities
https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html)

The latest Vulnerabilities is this:

CVE-2018-5407 (OpenSSL advisory) [Low severity] 02 November 2018:
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-5407

If I miss something, could you please let me know? Thank you.
Regards,
Qingwei Zhang
