Re: Password changes
Well Amazon has already fixed the flaw on their side so it should be safe to change the passwords on Amazon from my point of view

Scope
Does anyone know if this affects a typical consumer-grade router?  I have secure Telnet forwarded to one of the WiFi routers in my house that's running dd-wrt.  I telnet into that router to send a majic packet to sleeping machines if I need to remote desktop to them.  Does anyone know if OpenSSL provides the SSL implementation for secure telnet on a typical Linux router build?

Leveraging OpenSSL
I was explaining this vulnerability at work today and I asked a question but was given an answer that I am unsure is entirely true so I wanted to bring it here. I stated that OpenSSL is just one platform of SSL to be used. This vulnerability also only happens with a singular version of the platform. Someone I spoke with stated that this is leveraged by Apache servers, which to date comprise of around 53% of the server types out there. Looking at the stats in this article this may be the reason for the high percentage of confirmed compromised servers.

The statement made by the other party was that ALL Apache servers would leverage OpenSSL. My statement was that Apache servers don't need to be running that platform of SSL but I am not entirely certain. Do Apache servers only run OpenSSL or can it run other SSL platforms? Thanks,

Re: Password changes
Isn't it always time to change passwords? The rate at which vulnerabilites are uncovered seems to exceed my typing speed.

Password changes
So is it time to go change Amazon.com passwords? Also has Bruce Schneier ever give a bug an 11 on the 1 to 10 scale before?

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
