Thanks Magnus. We have removed as well as replaced the OpenSSLlibraries. The postgresql service is not coming up (SSL is turned off). I thought OpenSSL is used when we turn on SSL in postgresql.


PostgreSQL *uses* OpenSSL, but does not contain it.

PostgreSQL is still linked against openssl, so if you replaced it with an incompatible version then it would break. But as I said, it depends on your distribution of PostgreSQL. As long as you use something like RPM or DEB packaging, that's all taken care of by the operating system and nothing is bundled by PostgreSQL. If you installed manually from source, for example, then of course you need to make sure that your updated openssl is compatible with the old one.

Hi All,
  Recently OpenSSL released Security Advisory. Please refer below link


We are using postgresql version 9.2.8 which is vulnerable. Is postgresql planning to release new version which include OpenSSL 1.0.1h?


PostgreSQL itself is not vulnerable, so we will not release a new version.

If you are using the EnterpriseDB graphical installers, they are indeed bundling the OpenSSL and it at least used to be the vulnerable version. Unfortunately they don't seem to have information about the updates yet - I will see if i can ping them about making sure that goes on there. I think they have already patched it - but it's not confirmed on the website.
