Security Update

Notable items:

* **http**: Fix a bug where an HTTP socket may no longer have a socket
  but a pipelined request triggers a pause or resume, a potential
  denial-of-service vector. (Fedor Indutny)
* **openssl**: Upgrade to 1.0.2e, containing fixes for:
  - CVE-2015-3193 "BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64",
    an attack is considered feasible against DH, an attack against RSA
    and DSA is considered possible but unlikely, EC algorithms are not
    affected. Details are available at
    <http://openssl.org/news/secadv/20151203.txt>.
  - CVE-2015-3194 "Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter",
    a potential denial-of-service vector for Node.js TLS servers; TLS
    clients are also impacted. Details are available at
    <http://openssl.org/news/secadv/20151203.txt>.
