  Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [xx XXX xxxx]
 
-  *)
+  *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
+
+     During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
+     alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
+     fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
+     attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
+     bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
+     certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
+
+     This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
+     (Google/BoringSSL).
