Tavis Ormandy discovered that the BN_mod_sqrt() function of OpenSSL
could be tricked into an infinite loop. This could result in denial of
service via malformed certificates.

Additional details can be found in the upstream advisory:

In addition this update corrects a carry propagation bug specific to
MIPS architectures.

For the oldstable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed
in version 1.1.1d-0+deb10u8.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
