David Benjamin 185121b4a4 OpenSSL Advisory: January 27th, 2026 (BoringSSL Not Affected)
When OpenSSL publishes advisories, we've maintained counterparts to help
BoringSSL consumers determine how it affects them. Starting with the
most recent one, we're planning to publish them in the repository under
docs/advisories.

This CL only has the most recent advisory. https://crbug.com/479225940
tracks converting the historical ones.
