An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

This update for libressl to version 2.8.0 fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

– CVE-2018-12434: Avoid a timing side-channel leak when generating DSA and
ECDSA signatures. (boo#1097779)
– Reject excessively large primes in DH key generation.

Other bugs fixed:

– Fixed a pair of 20+ year-old bugs in X509_NAME_add_entry.
– Tighten up checks for various X509_VERIFY_PARAM functions, ‘poisoning’
parameters so that an unverified certificate cannot be used if it fails
verification.
– Fixed a potential memory leak on failure in ASN1_item_digest.
– Fixed a potential memory alignment crash in asn1_item_combine_free.
– Removed unused SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED and
SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER flags in write path, simplifying IO paths.
– Removed SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG buggy client workarounds.
– Added const annotations to many existing APIs from OpenSSL, making
interoperability easier for downstream applications.
– Added a missing bounds check in c2i_ASN1_BIT_STRING.
– Removed three remaining single DES cipher suites.
– Fixed a potential leak/incorrect return value in DSA signature
generation.
– Added a blinding value when generating DSA and ECDSA signatures, in
order to reduce the possibility of a side-channel attack leaking the
private key.
– Added ECC constant time scalar multiplication support.
– Revised the implementation of RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 to match the
specification in RFC 8017.
