File 0002-ECDSA-Address-a-timing-side-channel-whereby-it-is-possible.patch of Package openssl1
From 23f7e974d59a576ad7d8cfd9f7ac957a883e361f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pauli <paul.dale@oracle.com> Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2017 09:47:13 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Address a timing side channel whereby it is possible to determine some information about the length of the scalar used in ECDSA operations from a large number (2^32) of signatures. Thanks to Neals Fournaise, Eliane Jaulmes and Jean-Rene Reinhard for reporting this issue. Refer to #4576 for further details.
