These releases fix several security issues in most versions of OpenSSL, one of which CVE-2023-0286 is rated high relating to processing badly formed X509 certificates and X.400 addresses but can only be exploited if CRL checking is enabled, whereas ICS uses OCSP instead. There are other moderate rated security issues which will mostly just crash the application if exploited.

 

Details of all fixed 3.0 security issues are at https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities-3.0.html

Separately YuOpenSSL has released both these versions as commercial DCUs allowing applications to be used with OpenSSL without needing separate DLLs.
