[openssl-announce] Low severity timing attack in DSA (CVE-2018-0734)

[Paul Dale]

Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation (CVE-2018-0734) 
================================================================ 
  
Severity: Low 
  
The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a 
timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing 
algorithm to recover the private key. 
  
Due to the low severity of this issue we are not issuing a new release 
of OpenSSL 1.1.1, 1.1.0 or 1.0.2 at this time. The fix will be included 
in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, OpenSSL 1.1.0j and OpenSSL 1.0.2q when they become 
available. The fix is also available in commit 8abfe72e8c (for 1.1.1), 
ef11e19d13 (for 1.1.0) and commit 43e6a58d49 (for 1.0.2) in the OpenSSL 
git repository. 
  
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
