[SSA:2022-076-02] openssl

New openssl packages are available for Slackware 14.2, 15.0, and -current to
fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog

patches/packages/openssl-1.1.1n-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a high severity security issue:
The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains
a bug that can cause it to loop forever for non-prime moduli.
