### Changes between 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * Do not ignore empty associated data entries with AES-SIV.
+
+ The AES-SIV algorithm allows for authentication of multiple associated
+ data entries along with the encryption. To authenticate empty data the
+ application has to call `EVP_EncryptUpdate()` (or `EVP_CipherUpdate()`)
+ with NULL pointer as the output buffer and 0 as the input buffer length.
+ The AES-SIV implementation in OpenSSL just returns success for such call
+ instead of performing the associated data authentication operation.
+ The empty data thus will not be authenticated. ([CVE-2023-2975])
+
+ Thanks to Juerg Wullschleger (Google) for discovering the issue.
+
+ The fix changes the authentication tag value and the ciphertext for
+ applications that use empty associated data entries with AES-SIV.
+ To decrypt data encrypted with previous versions of OpenSSL the application
+ has to skip calls to `EVP_DecryptUpdate()` for empty associated data
+ entries.

* When building with the `enable-fips` option and using the resulting
FIPS provider, TLS 1.2 will, by default, mandate the use of an extended
master secret (FIPS 140-3 IG G.Q) and the Hash and HMAC DRBGs will
