Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSL, the worst of which
may lead to a Denial of Service condition.

Background
==========
OpenSSL is a robust, commercial-grade, and full-featured toolkit for
the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocols.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-libs/openssl < 1.0.2n >= 1.0.2n

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

Impact
======
A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition, recover a
private key in unlikely circumstances, circumvent security restrictions
to perform unauthorized actions, or gain access to sensitive
information.

Workaround
==========
There are no known workarounds at this time.

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

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2n"
