The two operating systems installed in SmartNode products�Trinity and SmartWare�are NOT affected by the Heartbleed Bug.

Technical Details
- HeartBleed only affects OpenSSL version 1.0.1 up to 1.0.1f and OpenSSL 1.0.2-beta releases. Neither of these versions have been installed in any Patton products.
- Trinity uses an older version 1.0.0 for SIP/TLS and SSH.
- SmartWare uses a proprietary implementation of SSH based on aan earlier release of OpenSSL that pre-dates version 1.0.1.
- Going forward, versions 1.0.1g and 1.0.2 and higher of OpenSSL contain a fix for this issue. When developing software upgrades for future versions of SmartNode software, Patton will only use those corrected versions of OpenSSL.
