Advisory ID:       SLSA-2016:1137-1
Issue Date:        2016-05-31
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2016-2108
--

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL encoded certain ASN.1 data
structures. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted
certificate which, when verified or re-encoded by OpenSSL, could cause it
to crash, or execute arbitrary code using the permissions of the user
running an application compiled against the OpenSSL library.
