Today I received an email response from CERT giving the following page
detailing the vendor information for the status of OpenSSL updates.

http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/102795#systems

Mind you, the page itself is a little obscure. I think it means to say that
the vendor's version is vulnerable before the version released on the date
given, but doesn't.
The observant will note that there is no link to this from

http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-27.html

Better late than never, eh?
