The NSA, according to the Snowden docs, can break SSL. No details though: http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2013/12/how-does-nsa...

Those documents do not say they can break SSL. They say they focus on SSL, and can break some specific SSL-using services.

Would the specific be the version of openssl being used by the 'target'?

Can't look right now but was this 'bug' introduced at some point in time?
