Don't even think of that!  First, as you may know, most Apple-supplied 
programs don't use OpenSSL anyway (at least since 10.7 when it was 
officially deprecated).  Second, the Heartbleed bug only applies to 
OpenSSL 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f.  Apple has never shipped a version of 
OpenSSL later than 0.9.8.
