This thread is going to document all the software on a stock N900 root filesystem (what you get if you unpack the FIASCO image and then mount the UBIFS, i.e. no optification or anything else done to the system) that talks to openssl.
Firstly I will list all the binaries that link to openssl along with the packages they belong to and whether those packages are open or closed.

Then I will list (for each closed binary) which openssl functions it appears to be calling/talking to.

The intent is to provide the information necessary to allow a newer OpenSSL version (e.g. OpenSSL 1.0.2 or LibreSSL) to be installed via CSSU as well as some clues as to the likely security risks caused by the remaining talks-to-openssl closed binaries (that risk is determined by a combination of which openssl functions they use and where, if anywhere, they are talking to in the outside world)

List of binaries using openssl and which packages they are in:
as-daemon (as-daemon-0, closed source)
b64 (maemosec-certman-tools, open source)
browser.launch (tablet-browser-ui, closed source)
cmcli (maemosec-certman-tools, open source)

libsofia-sip-ua-glib.so.3.0.0 (libsofia-sip-ua-glib3, open source)
libsofia-sip-ua.so.0.6.0 (libsofia-sip-ua0, open source)
libsync4j.so.3.0.0 (funambol-cpp-api, closed source)

syncd (maesync-backend, closed source)
xmlpp (maemosec-certman-tools, open source)
Xorg (xserver-xorg-core, open source)

Ok so ignoring the open source binaries above (which we can port to something newer easily) and the obsolete nokiamessaging/ovi stuff (which we can remove easily enough without breaking things) the list of closed source targets using openssl is:
as-daemon
browser.launch
eapd
libconnui_iapsettings.so.0.0.0
libflashplayer.so
libiap_dialog_mschap_change.so
libiap_dialog_wps.so
libiap_wizard_wlan.so
libinternetsettings.so
liblomesa.so.0.0.0
libsync4j.so.3.0.0
location-proxy
osso-backup.launch
ota-settings
signond
syncd

Now we just need someone who knows more about openssl to assess these and figure how risky these are (based on the functions they call and what the binaries do)

So if we go for latest versions (presuming our gcc/libc etc are supported), i guess we could just list missing/changed api calls and find a way (patch, compat library or something) to make them available?

the thing immediately standing out to me, from latest news articles, are the sha1 related functions. with major browsers removing support is it something that you want kicking around? same could be said for any other deprecated encryption models.

In regards to SHA1, its use in SSL/TLS certificates is what is being depreciated. The other uses of SHA1 (e.g. in eapd or osso-backup) aren't an issue (they are either not using SHA1 in a way that is a security risk or are only using it in code to support old protocols and stuff and if you use newer more secure protocols its not an issue)

In terms of browser stuff we need to:
1.Ensure that the root certificates in https://github.com/community-ssu/maemo-security-certman are up-to-date
2.Bring in a newer OpenSSL version that supports all the latest features and crypto (making sure to deal with any maemo-specific patches)
3.Bring in a newer NSS version that supports all the latest features and crypto (making sure to deal with any maemo-specific patches)
4.Update microb-engine to use the new NSS and to use the right security settings and other things
5.Update QT to use the new OpenSSL and to use the right security settings and other things
6.Update libcurl to use the new OpenSSL and to use the right security settings and other things (if its possible to bring in a newer upstream curl and remain ABI compatible, lets do that)
and 7.If there are any APIs in libcurl that relate to using the right security settings and things, figure out who is using them and fix things somehow so the right security settings are being picked.

I have done some more research on this.

The following open source packages link to libssl or libcrypto or both:
clinkc
curl
loudmouth
maemo-security-certman
maemo-security-certman-applet
qt4-x11
sofia-sip
microb-eal
xorg-server

The way forward from where I sit is to:
1.Get latest OpenSSL (or libressl or whatever makes sense) running on Maemo Fremantle and into CSSU.
2.Recompile clinkc, curl, loudmouth, maemo-security-certman, maemo-security-certman-applet, qt4-x11, sofia-sip, microb-eal and xorg-server against the new OpenSSL and get those into CSSU.
3.For the nokiamessaging package (intellisyncd binary) and sharing-service-ovi package (libshareonovi.so binary), modify CSSU so it uninstalls these packages (these are obsolete and unless something has changed, the back-ends that made these work are no longer online so it should be safe to remove them).
4.For the remaining packages that are closed source and actually call functions in libssl/libcrypto, identify if their use of libssl/libcrypto is risky or not and if its considered "risky", figure out how to deal with it
5.For the packages that link to libssl/libcrypto but dont actually call any functions in them, do nothing (since its not a security risk in those cases)
and 6.Enjoy the benefits of all the latest openssl security fixes straight from the openssl team whilst keeping those few pieces of the system that actually call functions in libssl/libcrypto working.

Of course none of this does a thing about NSS or microb (the upgrading of which is a whole different kettle of fish and is much harder)
