+  *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
+
+     The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
+     message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
+     store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
+     dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
+     write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
+     crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
+
+     This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
+
+     This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
+     (CVE-2016-6309)
