Default LibreSSL not affected by DROWN attack

From http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=artic...20160301141941

Quote:
As noted by Bernard Spil, the OpenSSL bugs disclosed on 2016-03-01 have very little impact on LibreSSL, especially on OpenBSD. However, we will briefly mention the two high-profile issues:
  • LibreSSL (on any platform) is not affected by DROWN. Support for SSLv2 was flensed out quite a while ago.
  • Cachebleed is local-only, and requires a lot effort to get. This is thought to be very difficult to exploit on OpenBSD due to many of the normal mitigations on an OpenBSD system. Other systems without such mitigations may not be so lucky.
