Open SSL vulnerability

2014-04-11 05:45

I use the SFTP client and have heard about the OpenSSL vulnerability that could cause a breach. Is this something I should be concerned about while using the client?

This bug is tracked here:
https://winscp.net/tracker/1151

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!
