"Impact: Moderate"

Update to 6.8 and get openssl-1.0.1e-48.el6_8.1.x86_64
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Thanks for the tip.
The nginx package came with an old openssl version.
