Squid is as vulnerable as any other product based on SSL.
Unfortunately there's not much we developers can do. The burden falls
on the (open)ssl library implementors, and all we can do is wait.
Some OS vendors have already started shipping an updated ssl library
which somehow plugs the hole. After that (dynamic) library has been
installed on the host OS, Squid (after a restart at most) is
immediately protected from the flaw.
