Most of you have probably heard of the new OpenSSL vulnerability that was made public today, and might be wondering how it affects your usage of ThinLinc.

Fortunately, it doesn’t affect ThinLinc at all. The security issue is in how OpenSSL handles TLS and certificates, and although ThinLinc uses OpenSSL, it doesn’t use OpenSSL for that.

So please continue using ThinLinc just as you’ve been doing so far.

If you have any questions, then please let us know.
