The recently installed 9i rel2 pachted to 9.2.0.2.0 uses openssl version 0.9.6b

The latest version is 0.9.7a was 0.9.6i.

Compile and then just change the file will most likely not work, will it?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/29423.html yesterday posted a notice that the "experiment" was with an older version of SSL.

It could be that iAS and other Oracle products are still using that version, I know they were way behind in the Apache release they bundled in iAS 1.0.2.2

I would be curious to learn what you find out.

recently a security breach was detected with OpenSSL - the password of a user could be decoded within hours, the bank account was robbed - but just for testing purposes -
