If they were bundled with out of date libs then they were most likely
on 0.9.8(probably e) and not vulnerable. I'm just saying. It's folks
who were more current that were more likely to be vulnerable to this
particular issue. I can't say much about OSX but what I've seen in
checking is that many apps are simply using whatever OpenSSL is on the
OS.

In thinking about auditiing for this, don't forget infrastructure
(firewalls, VPNs - specifically SSL based ones, things such as IP
based security cameras that are managed over SSL (hooray, embedded
devices devices firmware upgrades - wonder how long it will take for
vendor upgrades to be available). Also don't forget 3rd party managed
services (think both the implementation AND the customer portal).
Seeing as this sort of auditing requires thinking about...well...
everything, it's a good time to be collecting/validating/updating info
on what all you have in your environment.
