Resolution

The default OpenSSL library version has been updated to 1.0.2r, which fixes the 
following security vulnerabilities:

A newer version of the OpenSSL library, 1.1.1d, is now installed with the
product. In addition to fixing multiple new vulnerabilities, version 1.1.1d 
also addresses the vulnerabilities resolved by version 1.0.2r.

product life-cycle and has been upgraded to version 1.1.1d. In addition to
receiving full update support, version 1.1.1d fixes the following security
vulnerabilities:
