Stop the heartbleed attack that was dropped on the world very recently. This version of OpenSSL has fixed this vulnerability as well as one other CVE. I forgot to add the change log in the update packages so here is the list of the 3 bugs/vulerabilities fixed with 1.0.1g.

• A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
       can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
       server.
  
       Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
       Adam Langley <[email protected]> and Bodo Moeller <[email protected]> for
       preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)

• Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
       ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
       by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:

       Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
       flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)

• TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
  
       Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
       TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
       less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
       is at least 512 bytes long.
