How to fix?

Upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.0.200, 1.0.208 or higher.

Overview

OpenSSL is a SSL/TLS and Crypto toolkit. Deprecated in Mac OS and gone in iOS, this spec gives your project non-deprecated OpenSSL support.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Numeric Errors. OpenSSL is vulnerable to buffer overflows. A malicious user can pass large amounts of input data to the EVP_EncodeUpdate function, which can cause a buffer overflow in the length check, allowing the malicious user to cause heap corruption.
