Release notes: This release contains a fix for a vulnerability in how vcpkg packaged OpenSSL on Windows: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/50518

The vulnerability was originally reported by Xavier DANEST working with TrendAI Zero Day Initiative and assigned ZDI-CAN-29616 (visible at the time of this writing on https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/upcoming/ ). It has also been recorded as GitHub advisory https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/security/advisories/GHSA-p322-v6vw-vrq9 .

If you only want to update OpenSSL you should be able to override the selected version to 3.6.1#3 or later.
