[chef] Re: Re: Re: normal attributes on node get polluted

I think everything from 11.0.0 to 11.12.0 is affected.  

Not related to this bug, but my understanding is that client software is 
vulnerable to the heartbleed bug, and can be exploited before the client 
checks the certificate, so I’d recommend you upgrade if your client makes SSL 
connections to any HTTPS servers not under your direct control.
