Correct. OpenSSL is used with FTP over TLS/SSL only. Majority (about 98%) of WinSCP users use SSH (SFTP/SCP) and plain FTP only and are NOT affected!

In few days.

We're using 5.5.2 and from my reading the underlying OpenSSL core is 1.0.1f? Can somebody confirm this?

That's correct.

Hello,
it has been reported recently that there is a serious vulnerability in OpenSSL 1.0.1. It is recommended to adopt the fix (OpenSSL 1.0.1g) ASAP.
