OpenSSL

(Open Secure Sockets Layer) An open source version of the SSL and TLS security protocols, which provide encryption and server authentication over the Internet. The OpenSSL project began in 1998, runs on every popular operating system and is used in millions of Web servers. See TLS, Heartbleed and OpenVPN.

The Heartbleed bug is associated with a critical vulnerability in OpenSSL that was recently disclosed that affects servers running OpenSSL 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f, estimated at "over 17 percent of SSL web servers which use certificates issued by trusted certificate authorities." At worst, the vulnerability can lead to compromise of nearly the total contents of any server running affected versions of OpenSSL-enabled application, including internal services.
