Subject: CERT..(the linux ssl issue) CA-2002-027

You know, CERT is performing a disservice to the community 
since there is absolutely no reason that someone with a clue 
cannot simply change some of the shell code and use it against
any other unix variant. 

Instead of merely specifying only Linux, they should have mentioned 
the possibility that someone could easily modify the code to work 
on other platforms and instead urged everyone to upgrade ssl no 
matter which platform.
