New openssl packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssl-1.0.2q-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a timing side-channel flaw on processors which implement
SMT/Hyper-Threading architectures, and a side channel attack on DSA
signature generation that could allow an attacker to recover the private key.
