moin moin,
Based on the following page:
OpenSSL heartbeat is enabled even if you're not using it unless you
disabled it at compile time.
The vulnerability has been in place for two years ( version 1.0.1 up until
1.0.1g that was just released ).
It can be exploited to reveal your private key without leaving a trace.
IDS can probably be configured to detect the attack.
