Hi all,

You have probably seen this:
OpenSSL - CVE-2020-1967
https://openssl.markmail.org/thread/nuamcatocap7rwrw

I have reviewed the Tomcat Native code and confirmed that we do not call
SSL_check_chain() at any point.

I also looked at the OpenSSL code as I was concerned that we might hit
the same problem via an internal code path. It appears I wasn't the only
one with that concern and the OpenSSL team confirmed that the issue only
occurs when calling SSL_check_chain():
https://openssl.markmail.org/thread/okfaim5oqhh2egj6

Therefore, it is not necessary to roll a new Tomcat Native release to
pick up an updated OpenSSL version for the Windows binaries.

That said, there are a few Tomcat Native fixes since 1.2.23 and it has
been 9 months since the last release. We should have enough time to get
a 1.2.24 release out if we want to.

Thoughts?

Mark
