If that is an SSH connection, you aren't vulnerable. SSH only uses the
OpenSSL library for cryptography...the TLS portion of OpenSSL is what
uses the "heartbeat" and has the problem. So, SSH (say puTTY using SSH)
isn't vulnerable....

When I connect to a server using OpenSSL I get this response when the
command line switch is set to -vvv:

OpenSSH_4.7p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8y 5 Feb 2013

Is this my client version or the version of the server?

Thanks,

Jerry
