Can you please provide sources of your app / example of behaviour that needs fixing?

For us to prepare an SRU, we'd need to provide the following details:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template

Would you be able to provide details requested there? as in fill out the below template's Impact, Test Case, Regression Potential sections

I've tried to understand the upstream issue linked, but i'm not affected so I am struggling a bit.

Something minimal is ideal, like a tiny main(){}; C function that like calls double init, and works with openssl 1.1.0 from bionic-release, but fails with openssl 1.1.1 from bionic-updates.

[Impact]

 * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and

 * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release.

 * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
   explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.

[Test Case]

 * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug

 * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
   package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes
   the problem.

[Regression Potential]

 * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result of this change.

 * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
   upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
   to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
   event of a regression.

 * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
   and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.

[Other Info]

 * Anything else you think is useful to include
 * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board
 * and address these questions in advance
