An open-source group that maintains software for securing communications released a patch on Tuesday to fix several vulnerabilities that were found during a security test by the U.K. government.
The security flaws exist in the OpenSSL Project's version of the secure sockets layer (SSL) software used by Web sites and browsers to cryptographically secure data. Two of the flaws could lead to a denial-of-service attack, and a third may allow an attacker to break into a system from the Internet.
