In addition, note, that this does not only affect pkg. All ports and other 3rdparty software which somehow depend on OpenSSL need to be recompiled.

In order to know which ports/packages are affected, I issued the following command. After some minutes this would spill out a list of packages which must be re-installed:

find /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/libexec /usr/local/lib -type f | xargs -n1 file -F ‚ ' | grep ELF | cut -f1 -d' ' | xargs ldd -f '%A %o\n' | grep "libssl.so\|libcrypto.so" | cut -f1 -d' ' | sort -u | xargs -n1 pkg which -p | cut -f6 -d' ' | sort -u

Best regards
