OpenSSL Warning
Notable changes
================

OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k was recently released and is being pushed out by
various operating system maintainers. Review by Gregory Maxwell determined that
this update is incompatible with the Bitcoin system and could lead to consensus
forks.
Mining and relay policy enhancements
------------------------------------

Bitcoin Core released binaries from https://bitcoin.org are unaffected,
as are any built with the gitian deterministic build system.
Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 3 blocks only, and any mining
software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel to use
libblkmaker either version 0.4.2 or any version from 0.5.1 onward.
If you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin
Core, which must be done prior to BIP66 achieving its 951/1001 status.
If you are mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.
If you are mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect
you at the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP66
achieving its 951/1001 status.

However, if you are running either

- The Ubuntu PPA from https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin
- A third-party or self-compiled Bitcoin Core

upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.9.4, which includes a workaround, **before** updating
OpenSSL.

The incompatibility is due to the OpenSSL update changing the
behavior of ECDSA validation to reject any signature which is
not encoded in a very rigid manner. This was a result of
OpenSSL's change for CVE-2014-8275 "Certificate fingerprints
can be modified".

We are specifically aware of potential hard-forks due to signature
encoding handling and had been hoping to close them via BIP62 in 0.10.
BIP62's purpose is to improve transaction malleability handling and
as a side effect rigidly defines the encoding for signatures, but the
overall scope of BIP62 has made it take longer than we'd like to
deploy.
