 Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [xx XXX xxxx]
  *) Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
     number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
     event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
     processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not
     being used in the default case.
     A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
     precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
     and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
     If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
     OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
     (CVE-2019-1549)
     [Matthias St. Pierre]
  *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_decrypt() and CMS_decrypt(). In situations
     where an attacker receives automated notification of the success or failure
     of a decryption attempt an attacker, after sending a very large number of
     messages to be decrypted, can recover a CMS/PKCS7 transported encryption
     key or decrypt any RSA encrypted message that was encrypted with the public
     RSA key, using a Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack. Applications are not
     affected if they use a certificate together with the private RSA key to the
     CMS_decrypt or PKCS7_decrypt functions to select the correct recipient info
     to decrypt.
     (CVE-2019-1563)
     [Bernd Edlinger]
  *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
     used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
     or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/

     was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
     resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
