Live-patching weak crypto with OpenSSL engines
Ignat Korchagin

Do you have an old proprietary piece of software, which uses weak crypto, and you can’t throw it away? Is it based on OpenSSL (very likely due to OpenSSL popularity and permissive license)? If yes, you’re in luck: you can fix your system without the need to have the source code or to mess with low-level assembly nightmare.
