All the affected cloud images, virtual machines and native installers have been successfully patched.

If you are using a Bitnami Cloud Hosting instance, you can easily patch it following the guide below while we upgrade the base images.

[UPDATE 2016-09-26]

The OpenSSL team announced the release of version 1.0.2j, which patches a missing CRL sanity check issue affecting only version 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception. (CVE-2016-7052)

The Bitnami Team will continue working on updating the Cloud Images, Virtual Machines and Native Installers using the latest released version.

The Bitnami Team is happy to announce that our images on Google, Azure, Oracle (Ubuntu) and AWS Marketplace images have been properly updated. Additionally, we will continue to work on releasing the images for our all of our cloud platform partners, virtual machines and the native installers.
