   An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata
   is now available. It includes one version update.

Description:


   This update of openssl fixes an integer conversation issue
   which could  cause a heap-based memory corruption
   (CVE-2012-2110
    ).

   Additionally, a check for negative buffer length values was
   added ( CVE-2012-2131
     ) and the stack made non-executable by marking the
   enhanced Intel SSSE3  assembler code as not needing
   executable stack.
