New Version of OpenSSL Fixes Six Flaws
From threatpost:
The most problematic of the vulnerabilities fixed in the new version is the one that enables the plaintext recovery attack, which was discovered by a pair of security researchers who found a way to extend the CBC padding oracle attack. The attack enables someone to exploit the problem with OpenSSL's DTLS implementation to recover the plaintext version of an encrypted message.
