When will openssl be updated for the various Ubuntu LTS and non-LTS versions?

Asked by mcandre

Since openssl 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f are compromised (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed#Affected_OpenSSL_installations), I'm curious why Ubuntu packages have been slow to update to a safe (1.0.1g) version.

Compare latest available openssl versions for Debian:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openssl

with Ubuntu:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openssl&searchon=names

It's fixed in all supported versions of Ubuntu.

It may still be a problem in unsupported (end of life) versions and where it is it won't be fixed. But if your using an unsupported version upgrade.

Can you help with this problem?
