CVE-2009-3245 openssl: missing bn_wexpand return value checks

It was discovered that OpenSSL did not always check the return value of 
the bn_wexpand() function. An attacker able to trigger a memory 
allocation failure in that function could cause an application using the 
OpenSSL library to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. 
(CVE-2009-3245)

For the update to take effect, all programs using the openssl096b 
library must be restarted.
