newest libssl in woody



Hello,

the newest libssl in woody,  from security updates is version 0.9.6c-2.woody.2
However, I have on my machine version 0.9.6g-0.woody.1 and I've seen it in
ftp too. From changelog:

openssl (0.9.6g-0.woody.1) stable; urgency=low

  * new upstream version
  * fix manpage names (closes: #156717, #156718, #156719, #156721)
  * Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
    overflow checks added in 0.9.6e.  This prevents DoS (the
    assertions could call abort()). (closes: #155985, #156495)
  * Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
    and get fix the header length calculation.
  * include support for new sh* architectures (closes: #155117)
