Minor Bugfixes

Now WASTE 'does' Voice, we are considering dropping MicroSip from the Suite entirely.
This is dependent on user feedback.

So - if you have objections to this scheme PLEASE LAUNCH WASTE and come to the #...Lobby..._(o-o)_/

Drop your comments there for consideration.
We will listen to you - but if we hear nothing, then MicroSip will be removed.

Thank you.

OpenSSL : CVE-2022-3602 and CVE-2022-3786, X.509 Email Address Buffer Overflow.

X.509 Email Address 4-byte Buffer Overflow (CVE-2022-3602)

Severity: High

A buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification,
specifically in name constraint checking. Note that this occurs
after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a
CA to have signed the malicious certificate or for the application to
continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path
to a trusted issuer. An attacker can craft a malicious email address
to overflow four attacker-controlled bytes on the stack. This buffer
overflow could result in a crash (causing a denial of service) or
potentially remote code execution.... read more
