If you haven't heard about the openssl exploit yet, you haven't been reading the
news
I'm just wondering if it applies to openvms (or alpha) or other classic systems?
And if it does, is there going to be a bugfix for this?

Short answer: It strictly applies to particular recent versions of
OpenSSL. If they aren't running OpenSSL of that version, exposed through
an open TLS port, then no.

Dan, it's my understanding that the bug that caused this exploit path was
introduced in 2011.

Yes, but OpenSSL doesn't run on VMS, does it? As VMS predates ssh by
about 20 years or so (SSH 1.0 1995) and VMS doesn't have many FOSS or
GPL bits AFAIK.

Only if they are using a vulnerable version of OpenSSL (unlikely) - or
have somehow managed to recreate the bug independently (possibly even
more unlikely). This is not a bug in the protocol (SSL); it is a bug
one popular implementation of the protocol (OpenSSL).
And if it does, is there going to be a bugfix for
this?
In the first case above (using a vulnerable version of OpenSSL), the
bugfix already exists. In the second case above, it's like any other
piece of legacy code: fixing it means finding someone who has the
source, or is willing to work out a binary patch, etc....

OpenVMS is not vulnerable if you are using the HP provided OpenSSL libraries. If you go to
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ssl/ssl.html you will see that the OpenVMS
OpenSSL is based on version 0.9.8y and is not vulnerable. If you have products that use
OpenSSL running on OpenVMS you need to check that they haven?t baked in a different
version of OpenSSL which might be vulnerable. I am aware of at least one such product?
