    Dear Albert Maclang,

    There's a new SSL/TLS problem being announced today and it's likely to
    affect some of the most popular web sites in the world, owing largely
    to the popularity of F5 load balancers and the fact that these devices
    are impacted. There are other devices known to be affected, and it's
    possible that the same flaw is present in some SSL/TLS stacks. We will
    learn more in the following days.

    If you want to stop reading here, take these steps: 1) check your web
    site using the SSL Labs test [1]; 2) if vulnerable, apply the patch
    provided by your vendor. As problems go, this one should be easy to fix.

    Hope we get an advise from redhat security response team for possible mitigation.

    Thanks.

    Kind regards,
    Albert
