### Changes between 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
* Fixed invalid handling of X509_verify_cert() internal errors in libssl
Internally libssl in OpenSSL calls X509_verify_cert() on the client side to
verify a certificate supplied by a server. That function may return a
negative return value to indicate an internal error (for example out of
memory). Such a negative return value is mishandled by OpenSSL and will cause
an IO function (such as SSL_connect() or SSL_do_handshake()) to not indicate
success and a subsequent call to SSL_get_error() to return the value
SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY. This return value is only supposed to be
returned by OpenSSL if the application has previously called
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(). Since most applications do not do this
the SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY return value from SSL_get_error() will be
totally unexpected and applications may not behave correctly as a result. The
exact behaviour will depend on the application but it could result in
crashes, infinite loops or other similar incorrect responses.
This issue is made more serious in combination with a separate bug in OpenSSL
3.0 that will cause X509_verify_cert() to indicate an internal error when
processing a certificate chain. This will occur where a certificate does not
include the Subject Alternative Name extension but where a Certificate
Authority has enforced name constraints. This issue can occur even with valid
chains.
([CVE-2021-4044])
*Matt Caswell*
* Corrected a few file name and file reference bugs in the build,
installation and setup scripts, which lead to installation verification
failures. Slightly enhanced the installation verification script.
