[slackware-security]  openssl (SSA:2016-062-02)

New openssl packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1,
and -current to fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssl-1.0.1s-i486-1_slack14.1.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes the following security issues:
  Cross-protocol attack on TLS using SSLv2 (DROWN) (CVE-2016-0800)
  Double-free in DSA code (CVE-2016-0705)
  Memory leak in SRP database lookups (CVE-2016-0798)
  BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption (CVE-2016-0797)
  Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions (CVE-2016-0799)
  Side channel attack on modular exponentiation (CVE-2016-0702)
  To avoid breaking the ABI, "enable-ssl2" is used, but all the vulnerable or
  weak ciphers have been removed.
