  This update fixes possible denial-of-service security issues:
  A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from
  an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be
  NULL, but OpenSSL did not correctly check for this case. A fix has been
  applied to prevent a NULL pointer dereference that results in OpenSSL
  crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source
  using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will be vulnerable to this
  issue prior to this fix.
  OpenSSL APIs that were vulnerable to this are: PKCS12_parse(),
  PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes()
  and PKCS12_newpass().
  When function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is called on RSA public keys,
  a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite.
  For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this
  computation completes quickly. However, if n is an overly large prime,
  then this computation would take a long time.
  An application that calls EVP_PKEY_public_check() and supplies an RSA key
  obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service
  attack.
  The function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is not called from other OpenSSL
  functions however it is called from the OpenSSL pkey command line
  application. For that reason that application is also vulnerable if used
  with the "-pubin" and "-check" options on untrusted data.
  To resolve this issue RSA keys larger than OPENSSL_RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS will
  now fail the check immediately with an RSA_R_MODULUS_TOO_LARGE error reason.
  Fix excessive time spent in DH check / generation with large Q parameter
  value.
  Applications that use the functions DH_generate_key() to generate an
  X9.42 DH key may experience long delays. Likewise, applications that use
  DH_check_pub_key(), DH_check_pub_key_ex() or EVP_PKEY_public_check()
  to check an X9.42 DH key or X9.42 DH parameters may experience long delays.
  Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from
  an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.
