How to fix?

Upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.0.109 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 Information Exposure. OpenSSL is vulnerable to information disclosure. When pretty printing through the OBJ_obj2txt function in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c is it possible for attackers to read from the process stack memory. This is caused because OpenSSL does not ensure the presence of \0 characters.
