You are likely to be affected only if:
- You use Linux.
I use FreeBSD, is it affected?
Can you even autoupdate freebsd's ports?
It is possible with PKGNG, but I build my own package repositories to manage updates.
Yes. I probably should have said "unix-like". The issue affects any system where you're dynamically linking Bitcoin Core against the system OpenSSL. This could even be done on Windows, though that'd be very unusual.
Thank You. I will watch out for this when building the next set of updates.
