On your box run :
Code:
openssl version

Check this link then :
https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html

This is distribution independent, after you get the version you need, download newer package for your distribution or operating system.

In most cases this will be applied automatically when you do a distribution upgrade.

Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.

Do you means that the operating system distributor aligns with the openssl package?

Thank you and best regards,

This is done by distribution vendor.

When they decide to package new version of openssl, it will come to your distribution and be avalible on, for instance, RHEL site if you have subscription. They do this fairly often, especially for big bugs (like we have seen recently).

So patch often and you should be ok.
