The Linux Foundation created the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII), a multi-million dollar fund to support open source projects critical to computing and the internet. In response to the Heartbleed OpenSSL vulnerability, CII will provide funding for OpenSSL and other key projects like OpenSSH to hire full-time developers. Major companies have pledged support and funding to CII to help secure important open source software.

How is Linux fixing issues of
OpenSSL security?
Another vulnerability was published in OpenSSL
1.0.1 that permits an attacker to uncover up to
64kb of memory to a connected client or server
(CVE­2014­0160). It may comprise of our X.509
authentications, usernames and passwords, texts,
messages,business reports and correspondence.
As per OpenSSL Security Advisory report, Neel
Mehta from Google Security has discovered this
bug.
The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the
popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library.
This weakness allows stealing the information
protected, under normal conditions, by the
SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet.
SSL/TLS provides communication security and
privacy over the Internet for applications such as
web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some
virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet
to read the memory of the systems protected by
the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software.
The bug breaches the secret keys to recognize the
service providers and steal names and passwords
of the users. This permits the bug to take
information straightforwardly from administration
and users. Here is the list of operating systems
that have transported with conceivably vulnerable
OpenSSL version.

“The Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) is a multi­
million dollar venture sorted out by The Linux
Foundation to fund open source ventures that are
in the basic way for core processing and Internet
capacities. Stirred by the Heartbleed OpenSSL
emergency, the Initiative’s funds will be managed
by The Linux Foundation and a controlling group
comprised of benefactors of the projects and
additionally key open source developers and other
industry stakeholders,” the Foundation awhile ago
expressed. The principal tasks the CII will fund are
Network Time Protocol, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and
the Open Crypto Audit Project (OCAP). OpenSSL
will get enough supports to get two full­time core
developers.
The foundation likewise announced that CII
founding patrons Amazon Web Services, Cisco,
Dell, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, IBM, Intel,
Microsoft, Netapp, Rackspace, and Vmware,will be
joined by new parts Adobe, Bloomberg, HP,
Huawei and Salesforce, who will work with The
Linux Foundation to recognize and store basic
open source ventures that need monetary and
technical assistance.
