FreeBSD 14.4 told builders they had a newer OpenSSL than they did

Brief

The libraries themselves are correct.

Notes

FreeBSD-EN-26:21.openssl, announced 2026-08-25. Errata, not an SA. pkg-config files libcrypto.pc, libssl.pc, and openssl.pc on FreeBSD 14 were taken from the OpenSSL 3.5 branch and reported 3.5.1. The installed library is 3.0.x. Software that gates on the reported version can fail to build or pick a wrong code path. Systems that do not build against base OpenSSL are not affected.

releng/14.4 357aa8af5304 (14.4-RELEASE-p9). stable/14 2e04d9868823. PR 297144. This is not a recast of the SA-26:61.openssl CVE pile.
