The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL
cryptographic software library.
This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal
conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet.
SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet
for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some
virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of
the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software.
This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and
to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual
content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data
directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.
