Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
+
+ Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
+ in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
+ excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
+ are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
+ so this is considered safe.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
+ project.
+ (CVE-2018-0739)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
+
+ Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
+ effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
+ byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
+ authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
+ security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
+ HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
+ (IBM).
+ (CVE-2018-0733)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
*) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
