Heartbleed OpenSSL vulnerability
This vulnerability means that your system is running a vulnerable version of openssl that is vulnerable to the Heartbleed Vulnerability. This vulnerability makes it possible for an attacker to steal information from memory on your server, remotely, including passwords, sensitive information and private SSL keys. This is a very serious vulnerability and means that TLS and SSL based connections on your system can be compromised by an attacker exposing any information being sent over these connections.
Next Steps
Step 1) Patch OpenSSL
