Upgrade openssl to version 0.10.78 or higher.
Overview
openssl is a bindings for the Rust programming language.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow through the MdCtxRef::digest_final() function in the digest context handling code. An attacker can corrupt memory by supplying an output buffer shorter than the digest size, causing the finalization routine to write past the end of the caller-provided slice. This can crash the process and, in unsafe contexts, lead to stack corruption and arbitrary code execution.
