### Changes between 3.2.0 and 3.2.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
* When function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is called on RSA public keys,
a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite.
For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this
computation completes quickly. However, if n is an overly large prime,
then this computation would take a long time.
An application that calls EVP_PKEY_public_check() and supplies an RSA key
obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service
attack.
The function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is not called from other OpenSSL
functions however it is called from the OpenSSL pkey command line
application. For that reason that application is also vulnerable if used
with the "-pubin" and "-check" options on untrusted data.
To resolve this issue RSA keys larger than OPENSSL_RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS will
now fail the check immediately with an RSA_R_MODULUS_TOO_LARGE error reason.
([CVE-2023-6237])
*Tomáš Mráz*
* Restore the encoding of SM2 PrivateKeyInfo and SubjectPublicKeyInfo to
have the contained AlgorithmIdentifier.algorithm set to id-ecPublicKey
rather than SM2.
