My timing is great -- take over all the machines, and now I have to
patch a bunch of them against the Heartbeat SSL vulnerability.

Luckily(?) many of them are on Debian Squeeze, which is too old to be
affected. I'll be reissuing the SSL certificate anyway, for the donate
and main websites.

Let me know if there's any SSL sites under creativecommons.org that
aren't working as they should and I'll get on it.

Best,

matt

Hi Matt,

Fast pickup, good luck tracking them down. Did you test the vulnerability of creativecommons.org. I read about?http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/?which claims to be able to check ?vulnerability.

I had a discussion once with Dan about the services by Creative Commons, he had a list of all domains hosted under creativecommons.org. You should probably check that list if you haven't already.?

I tried going to https://search.creativecommons.org but got directed to https://api.creativecommons.org/ which had an expired certificate. Don?t know if that is related

Cheers,

Maarten

Noted.

creativecommons.org was vulnerable. I have updated openssl on it, and
other machines.

Next step is to fix the certificate.

I requested a new wildcart cert and its on its way.
I have a list of sites and I'll work on getting them fixed in the next
couple of days.

I also hope to have some sites that were previously not under HTTPS
available too.

Best,

matt

creativecommons.org, donate.creativecommons.org and
api.creativecommons.org now all have the new certificate in place.

More sites will happen tomorrow. Please let me know if you notice any
weirdness with the above sites.

Just to note that it's not enough to patch everything. You need to
regenerate all of your keys in case they were compromised before the bug
was reported.

Hey Mallory,

Yep. They all have brand new SSL certificates in place, generated from new keys.
