Hi
just wondering if heartbleed is any cause for concern regarding changing my wallets current password, I have never used the 0.9.0 client still on version 0.8.6
will downloading the newest version 0.9.1 fix any of the data leaking concerns/possible theft of bitcoin?
thanks
Since you are running a version older than 0.9.0, you are only at risk if you are running the rpcssl command line option, or have entered that option into your bitcoin.conf.
If you don't know what that is, then you are almost certainly not using it, and therefore don't have to worry about your Bitcoin-Qt being affected by the Heartbleed bug.
While this is true, updating to 0.9.1 (which fixes the Heartbleed bug, and is safe) wouldn't be a bad idea. The official announcement (which is currently also in the news section of the forum header) can be found
