[Migration guide]: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/tree/master/doc/man7/migration_guide.pod
+### Changes between 3.0.12 and 3.0.13 [30 Jan 2024]
+
+ * A file in PKCS12 format can contain certificates and keys and may come from
+ an untrusted source. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be
+ NULL, but OpenSSL did not correctly check for this case. A fix has been
+ applied to prevent a NULL pointer dereference that results in OpenSSL
+ crashing. If an application processes PKCS12 files from an untrusted source
+ using the OpenSSL APIs then that application will be vulnerable to this
+ issue prior to this fix.
+
+ OpenSSL APIs that were vulnerable to this are: PKCS12_parse(),
+ PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes()
+ and PKCS12_newpass().
+
+ We have also fixed a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7(). However since this
+ function is related to writing data we do not consider it security
+ significant.
+
+ ([CVE-2024-0727])
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
+ * When function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is called on RSA public keys,
+ a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite.
+ For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this
+ computation completes quickly. However, if n is an overly large prime,
+ then this computation would take a long time.
+
+ An application that calls EVP_PKEY_public_check() and supplies an RSA key
+ obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service
+ attack.
+
+ The function EVP_PKEY_public_check() is not called from other OpenSSL
+ functions however it is called from the OpenSSL pkey command line
+ application. For that reason that application is also vulnerable if used
+ with the "-pubin" and "-check" options on untrusted data.
+
+ To resolve this issue RSA keys larger than OPENSSL_RSA_MAX_MODULUS_BITS will
+ now fail the check immediately with an RSA_R_MODULUS_TOO_LARGE error reason.

+ *Tomáš Mráz*
+
+ * Restore the encoding of SM2 PrivateKeyInfo and SubjectPublicKeyInfo to
+ have the contained AlgorithmIdentifier.algorithm set to id-ecPublicKey
+ rather than SM2.
+
+ *Richard Levitte*
+
+ * The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation in OpenSSL
+ for PowerPC CPUs saves the contents of vector registers in different
+ order than they are restored. Thus the contents of some of these vector
+ registers is corrupted when returning to the caller. The vulnerable code is
+ used only on newer PowerPC processors supporting the PowerISA 2.07
+ instructions.
+
+ The consequences of this kind of internal application state corruption can
+ be various - from no consequences, if the calling application does not
+ depend on the contents of non-volatile XMM registers at all, to the worst
+ consequences, where the attacker could get complete control of the
+ application process. However unless the compiler uses the vector registers
+ for storing pointers, the most likely consequence, if any, would be an
+ incorrect result of some application dependent calculations or a crash
+ leading to a denial of service.
+
+ ([CVE-2023-6129])
+
+ *Rohan McLure*
+
+ * Fix excessive time spent in DH check / generation with large Q parameter
+ value.
+
+ Applications that use the functions DH_generate_key() to generate an
+ X9.42 DH key may experience long delays. Likewise, applications that use
+ DH_check_pub_key(), DH_check_pub_key_ex() or EVP_PKEY_public_check()
+ to check an X9.42 DH key or X9.42 DH parameters may experience long delays.
+ Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from
+ an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service.
+
+ ([CVE-2023-5678])
