Summary
Updated openssl packages fix security vulnerability
Details

Updated compat-openssl10 and openssl packages fix security vulnerability:

There is an overflow bug in the x6464 Montgomery squaring procedure used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024, 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway. Also applications directly using the low level API BNmodexp may be affected if they use BNFLG_CONSTTIME (CVE-2019-1551).
