Race condition In openssl

Description

openssl X509NameBuilder::build returned object is not thread safe OpenSSL has a modified bit that it can set on on X509_NAME objects. If this bit is set then the object is not thread-safe even when it appears the code is not modifying the value.

Thanks to David Benjamin (Google) for reporting this issue.
