Okay. My last information is that upstream is doing nothing because they
want a shim layer provided by openssl-upstream. This did not happen and
I doubt it will. Is there any new update on the sitution or is this
really the last update on the situation or was there some progress in
the meantime?

PS: Fedora is shipping an updated / fixed version of the initial patch
    as far as I am aware.
