It light of this vuln, http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q2/27 (CVE-2014-0160) I am curious if it is possible to emerge apache without the mod_ssl heartbeat feature.

Is that possible?

I can see that some TLS servers of various vendors have heartbeating disabled and I am curious if I can do the same with Gentoo. Ex:


Code:
   
$ openssl s_client -connect www.qualys.com:443 -tlsextdebug

[skip]

   PSK identity hint: None
    SRP username: None
    Start Time: 1396916504
    Timeout   : 300 (sec)
    Verify return code: 20 (unable to get local issuer certificate)

Welp, answering my own question.

Emerging openssl with use flag of -tls-heartbeat does the trick. Thanks,

Alternative (and offtopic) to fix openssl but keep heartbeat enabled:
Update to dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1g (is already in portage)

1.0.1g is now stable on both, amd64 and x86, so time to `emerge --sync` and upgrade
