Heartbleed is a security bug in the open-source OpenSSL cryptography code library, widely used to implement the Internet's Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.

SRC patched its web servers—these are the only SRC servers affected—on April 8, one day after the OpenSSL Security Advisory announced the patch. SRC's public key certificates have been re-issued and installed.
