The heartbleed bug caused a fair bit of commotion in the web hosting sector, if you don’t know about the heartbleed bug I would suggest you go to http://heartbleed.com/ and read up first. Now the solution to the bug is quite simple, you just need to update your OpenSSL implementation to the latest version. Because every Linux OS is different I will explain the different steps you need to undertake.
Ubuntu 12.04/12.10/13.04/13.10 and Debian 7
|
1 2 3 |
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install openssl libssl1.0.0 $ sudo reboot now |
CentOS 6.x
|
1 2 |
$ yum install openssl $ reboot |
CentOS 6.x with DirectAdmin
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
$ yum install openssl openssl-devel $ cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/ $ ./build clean $ ./build update $ ./build apache $ ./build php n $ ./build dovecot $ ./build exim $ reboot |
CentOS 6.x with Cpanel

1 2 3 4 5 |
Login to WHM Update Server Software Update System Software EasyApache -> Previously Saved Config -> Build Profile Now Reboot |
Do not forget to reboot afterwards, this step is quite important, so that the services are restarted and are using the latest OpenSSL stack.
Good luck
