Hi

distribution : artful (ubuntu 17.10)
package libssl-dev [1.0.2g]

the package libssl-dev claims to be 1.0.2g, but it seems to be older
header-version 1.0.0, as it lacks the constant

./crypto/x509/x509_vfy.h:# define         X509_V_ERR_INVALID_CALL
                 65

It seems libssl binary package  is also 1.0.0


ii  libssl-dev:amd64                           1.0.2g-1ubuntu13.3
                  amd64        Secure Sockets Layer toolkit -
development files
ii  libssl-doc                                 1.0.2g-1ubuntu13.3
                  all          Secure Sockets Layer toolkit -
development documentation
ii  libssl1.0.0:amd64                          1.0.2g-1ubuntu13.3
                  amd64        Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared
libraries


This could be a security issue, shipping a library 1.0.0 claiming to be
1.0.2g
