Synopsis
=======
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in OpenSSL, the worst of which
could allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition.

Background
=========
OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1/v1.1/v1.2/v1.3) as
well as a general purpose cryptography library.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-libs/openssl             < 1.1.1g                  >= 1.1.1g

Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker could perform a malicious crafted TLS 1.3 handshake
against an application using OpenSSL, possibly resulting in a Denial of
Service condition.

In addition, it's feasible that an attacker might attack DH512.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-1.1.1g"
