[Richard Levitte]
+ Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
+ if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
+ of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
+ categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
+ automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
+ provided by the application.
+
Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
*) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
*) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
bytes sent in the client random.
