commit e261cf5a2e3c12e9c6221a83a077c5523b85b979

Fix off-by-one in BN_rand
If BN_rand is called with |bits| set to 1 and |top| set to 1 then a 1 byte
buffer overflow can occur. There are no such instances within the OpenSSL at
the moment.
Thanks to Mateusz Kocielski (LogicalTrust), Marek Kroemeke, Filip Palian for
discovering and reporting this issue.

this function are not necessarily unpredictable. They can be used for
