= OpenSSL Vulnerability Discovered =

A security problem was discovered this week affecting May First/People Link servers.

We are in the process of updating all of servers to ensure that are not vulnerable. As a result of our updates, some users may experience error messages that you did not see before.

== Who is affected? ==

The ''only'' members who will be affected are members that:

 * Use [wiki:sftp Secure FTP] or [wiki:secure_shell secure shell (ssh)] to connect to our servers
 * Use our offsite backup system

== Secure Shell/Secure FTP users ==

If you use Secure FTP or secure shell, you will get a message indicating that the host key has changed. Please see our [wiki:ssl_host_key_changed host key changed] help file to avoid getting that message in the future.

If you are using our offsite backup system - you will also get the [wiki:ssl_host_key_changed host key changed error] - but it will happen during your automated backup process, causing your automated backup to fail until you follow the directions and import the proper new host key.

== More Information ==

Please see the [http://wiki.debian.org/SSLkeys Debian wiki page] for a full explanation of the security problem.
