In order to pre-empt a pile of email about this, cryptlib isn't vulnerable. The attack requires an implementation that will automatically negotiate back to SSLv3 (which cryptlib won't, it defaults to TLS 1.1 for connections), that performs operations under control of an attacker, typically via Javascript (which cryptlib doesn't), and that uses certain types of authentication objects passed over SSL like cookies (which cryptlib doesn't). To put it more directly, you really need to be a web browser to be vulnerable.
