For those who didn't wait and installed v3.5.5 on their own or from Sid, FYI it landed in #Debian Testing today. I don't track Stable but generally speaking, when there's a major fashion faux pas updates can actually land in Stable (coming straight from Sid) before they do in Testing. For those who run #Slackware -current, you wouldn't have really noticed anything, since #OpenSSL version 3.5.5 was pushed out on 27 January. And again, Slackware is one of, if not the first to address and act on exploits and vulnerabilities, often on #0day. Fun Fact: Following the very public cannibalization of Sun Microsystems by the Evil EllisonCo (Oracle), Slackware Linux was the first major distro to adopt and release #MariaDB, replacing #MySQL as the default in the installation - credit where due, IIRC, the German fork of Slackware, #SuSE, was the second major distro to do so shortly thereafter.
