How to fix?

Upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.0.200, 1.0.210 or higher.

Overview

OpenSSL is a SSL/TLS and Crypto toolkit. Deprecated in Mac OS and gone in iOS, this spec gives your project non-deprecated OpenSSL support.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. OpenSSL is vulnerable to timing attacks. Certain cryptographic functions do not run in constant time, meaning that a malicious user can recover a DSA private key based on the time taken for the operations.
