Backport

Also written: backported fix, backporting

Copying a security fix into an older version of a program instead of moving to a newer version. On Ubuntu, only the package revision changes (OpenSSL 3.0.13-0ubuntu3.16), so you should check the package version to judge whether a system is patched.
