### Changes between 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from
+ an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be
+ NULL, but OpenSSL did not correctly check for this case. A fix has been
+ applied to prevent a NULL pointer dereference that results in OpenSSL
+ crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source
+ using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will be vulnerable to this
+ issue prior to this fix.
+
+ OpenSSL APIs that were vulnerable to this are: PKCS12_parse(),
+ PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes()
+ and PKCS12_newpass().
+
+ We have also fixed a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7(). However since this
+ function is related to writing data we do not consider it security
+ significant.

* When function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is called on RSA public keys,
a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite.
For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this
