Heartbleed

The DeskCon Project makes use of the OpenSSL Libraries on Linux and Android. That means that a Heartsbleed Attack is possible, at least at the Desktop side.

Most Android Versions do not have the “Heartbeat” Feature enabled (only Android 4.1.1) so most are save, but to be sure you can use this App to test your Device.

This has been fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.1g. Please update your OpenSSL Package!
