commit f3b555a601d641448af8f2a7ef57c20db36f1b94
Author: Matt Caswell <matt at openssl.org>
Date:   Tue May 19 16:03:02 2015 +0100

    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.
