And how long ago did you stop beating your wife? (A question with an inherent assumption that it's affected in the first place.) OpenSSL code falls back on the c library (ultimately the kernel on many platforms) so you'll have to consult your C library/OS vendor for more info and updates. Offhand, the impact could be a one-hour error in the creation or expiration dates of certificate data, or the failure of the cache to cross over time zones at the right moment. Since OpenSSL attempts to resolve to GMT there would be a potential one-hour discrepancy between the new changeover and the historical/anticipated change of date, with possibly no impact to the resulting gmt conversion whatsoever depending on the c library implementation, AFAIK. Of course other things on an unpatched system are likely to fall over first. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
