For my MAC I note that the Microsoft Remote desktop
with OpenSSL  1.0.1q just had a pair of updates 48 hours
apart. Versions 8.0.27 and versions 8.0.28.

I wonder what the bug was that needed such quick attention.

A remote desktop is a powerful encrypted communication channel.
Pairs of bad guys could enable it for a throw away user on their
machines.  As bad guys trust each other with their lives trusting
remote access is no big emotional jump and risk...
