Bernd Edlinger discovered that malformed data passed to the
SSL_check_chain() function during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake could
cause a NULL dereference, resulting in denial of service.

The oldstable distribution (stretch) is not affected.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.1d-0+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
