Our conclusion is below

1). Move minimum OpenSSL version of ATS v9.0.0 to 1.0.2.

2). ATS v9.0.0 also drop support for the following platforms because of
openssl version

  - CentOS 6 (OpenSSL v1.0.1e)
  - Ubuntu 14.04 (OpenSSL v1.0.1f)

3). ATS v8.x.x keeps OpenSSL 1.0.1 support until EOL

For the vulnerabilities, I forgot about that. Thanks for pointing out.

Thanks,
Masaori
