    Summary: Updated openssl package fixes security vulnerabilities

    Details: Updated openssl packages fix security vulnerabilities: The DTLS retransmission implementation in OpenSSL through 1.0.1e does not properly maintain data structures for digest and encryption contexts, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to trigger the use of a different context by interfering with packet delivery (CVE-2013-6450). A carefully crafted invalid TLS handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception. A malicious server could use this flaw to crash a connecting client (CVE-2013-4353).
