There is no need to rebuild any dynamically linked packages. They |
| 9 |
work as long as the library name (libssl.so.0.9.7) stays the same and the |
| 10 |
library remains binary compatible (all 0.9.7 releases are compatible). |

However packages that statically include openssl ("static" useflag) |
| 14 |
contain the version used at build time. Those packages will continue |
| 15 |
working, but remain vulnerable unless rebuilt. |
