The recent Debian Security Notice DSA-2951-3 highlights a vital update for OpenSSL that mitigates vulnerabilities related to the CCS protocol and enhances ZLIB compression security mechanisms.
This update updates the upstream fix for CVE-2014-0224 to address problems with CCS which could result in problems with the Postgres database

Summary

This update updates the upstream fix for CVE-2014-0224 to address
problems with CCS which could result in problems with the Postgres
database.

In addition this update disables ZLIB compress by default. If you need
to re-enable it for some reason, you can set the environment variable
OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB.

This update also fixes a header declaration which could result in
build failures in applications using OpenSSL.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.1e-2+deb7u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
