### Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [xx XXX xxxx]
- *
+ * Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function
+ This function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
+ If an attacker can control both items being compared then this could lead
+ to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself uses the
+ GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
+ 1) Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL and a
+ CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate
+ 2) When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
+ timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
+ TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token)
+ ([CVE-2020-1971])
