  Apply patch to fix a security issue:
  Harden BN_GF2m_poly2arr against misuse.
  This CVE was fixed by the 1.1.1zb release that is only available to
  subscribers to OpenSSL's premium extended support. The patch was prepared
  by backporting from the OpenSSL-3.0 repo. The reported version number has
  been updated so that vulnerability scanners calm down.
  Thanks to Ken Zalewski for the patch!
