Security Fix(es):
* A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL encoded certain ASN.1 data
structures. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted
certificate which, when verified or re-encoded by OpenSSL, could cause it
to crash, or execute arbitrary code using the permissions of the user
running an application compiled against the OpenSSL library.
(CVE-2016-2108)
Red Hat would like to thank the OpenSSL project for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Huzaifa Sidhpurwala (Red Hat), Hanno Bock, and David
Benjamin (Google) as the original reporters.");
