OpenSSL versions 1.0.1 through to 1.0.1f are affected by=20
Heartbleed, as you already know.

An interim fix for the base OpenSSL implementation in=20
=46reeBSD-10 (which was 1.0.1e) was pushed out, without=20
changing the version number. So FreeRADIUS assumes anything=20
prior to 1.0.1g in the 1.0.1 train is vulnerable, regardless=20
of whether a fix is actually implemented or not. Hence the=20
need for this switch in the FreeRADIUS configuration.

So provided you know this, and provided your base FreeSBD=20
installation is patched, it's a safe option to use.

If you use the OpenSSL release in the ports, or when=20
=46reeBSD's base OpenSSL version is 1.0.1g or later, you won't=20
need that FreeRADIUS option anymore.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Mark.
