That's a holiday in Germany. So "prepare" means we can take a day off our day off to patch OpenSSL on all systems? Obviously the OpenSSL team can't take all holidays in all countries in account but I still find it strange that the security problem is hinted at since like a week until there's finally the great day where the veil is lifted.
- alanfranz 4y agoAll Saints Day is quite a widespread holiday, at least in Europe. I found the date pretty curious as well.
- zeeZ 4y agoIt's a holiday only in five of 16 states in Germany. It's been hinted at for a week so that even people who are on holiday, and would not ordinarily read their news that day, have an opportunity to check how this - in their eyes critical - vulnerability affects them.
