Ohai Chefs! Today we’re releasing patched versions of Open Source Chef Server and Enterprise Chef that address the OpenSSL security vulnerability CVE-2014-0160, also known as Heartbleed. We recommend that you upgrade your Chef Server install immediately.

All installs of Enterprise Chef should be upgraded immediately. The result of this bug is a trivial exploit that allows an attacker to read secrets from the memory of a compromised server.

Enterprise Chef 11.1.3 is a security release that includes an updated version of OpenSSL that patches CVE-2014-0160, also known as the Heartbleed bug. All installs of Enterprise Chef should be upgraded immediately. The result of this bug is a trivial exploit that allows an attacker to read secrets from the memory of a compromised server.

Chef Server 11.0.12 is a security release that includes an updated version of OpenSSL that patches CVE-2014-0160, also known as the Heartbleed bug. All installs of Chef Server should be upgraded immediately. The result of this bug is a trivial exploit that allows an attacker to read secrets from the memory of a compromised server.
