Resolution

All OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1l-r1"
All OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8z_p5-r1"
Packages which depend on the OpenSSL library need to be restarted for the upgrade to take effect. Some packages may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
