Inappropriate coding practices In openssl

Description

rust-openssl Use-After-Free in Md::fetch and Cipher::fetch When a Some(...) value was passed to the properties argument of either of these functions, a use-after-free would result.

In practice this would nearly always result in OpenSSL treating the properties as an empty string (due to CString::drop's behavior).
