Hmm, must not be too worried, then.

The mob I work for's (enterprise) clients tend to send me queries every 
time an OpenSSL or other CVE comes out, "How long will it take to apply 
the fix?", "When will you have a new release ready?", "Does it affect 
the product(s)?", usually in that order.

And yes, we all know about the problem of, "How much other testing will 
have to be done?"
