Array Networks has announced that Array Networks products are not exposed to the OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability. Unlike hardware and software vendors who have integrated OpenSSL into their core product and service offerings, Array is unaffected because the company uses a proprietary SSL stack to process SSL, TLS and DTLS service traffic.
Array products – including APV, vAPV, AG, vxAG and EOS products (TMX, SPX) – use the company's proprietary SSL stack to process all SSL, TLS and DTLS service traffic. Therefore, service traffic on Array products is not affected by this OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability.
"As a leader in SSL acceleration and SSL VPN, we are happy to report that Array is not affected by this recent OpenSSL vulnerability. The time and attention we pay to creating our own implementations not only deliver superior performance, scalability and economics for customers that transact business on the Web, it also ensures that customers are not exposed to vulnerabilities that so often arise from use of open technologies," said Michael Zhao, President & CEO, Array Networks.
In addition, Array products only have limited usage of OpenSSL for WebUI and SSH management. The versions of OpenSSL used by Array products are not affected by the OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability so management traffic on Array products is not affected by the vulnerability either.
