Title:	OpenSSL Default Installation Paths Vulnerability (CVE-2019-1552) - Windows
Summary:	OpenSSL on Windows is prone to an insecure path defaults vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: OpenSSL on Windows is prone to an insecure path defaults vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: OpenSSL has internal defaults for a directory tree where it can find a configuration file as well as certificates used for verification in TLS. This directory is most commonly referred to as OPENSSLDIR, and is configurable with the --prefix / --openssldir configuration options. For OpenSSL versions 1.1.0 and 1.1.1, the mingw configuration targets assume that resulting programs and libraries are installed in a Unix-like environment and the default prefix for program installation as well as for OPENSSLDIR should be '/usr/local'. However, mingw programs are Windows programs, and as such, find themselves looking at sub-directories of 'C:/usr/local', which may be world writable, which enables untrusted users to modify OpenSSL's default configuration, insert CA certificates, modify (or even replace) existing engine modules, etc. For OpenSSL 1.0.2, '/usr/local/ssl' is used as default for OPENSSLDIR on all Unix and Windows targets, including Visual C builds. However, some build instructions for the diverse Windows targets on 1.0.2 encourage you to specify your own --prefix. Affected Software/OS: OpenSSL versions 1.0.2 through 1.0.2s, 1.1.0 through 1.1.0k and 1.1.1 through 1.1.1c. Solution: Apply the provided patches or update to a newer version.
