+ * Limited the number of nodes created in a policy tree to mitigate
+ against CVE-2023-0464. The default limit is set to 1000 nodes, which
+ should be sufficient for most installations. If required, the limit
+ can be adjusted by setting the OPENSSL_POLICY_TREE_NODES_MAX build
+ time define to a desired maximum number of nodes or zero to allow
+ unlimited growth.
