+ *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
+
+ 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.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
+ (CVE-2018-0734)

+ *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
+
+ The OpenSSL ECDSA 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.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
+ (CVE-2018-0735)
+ [Paul Dale]
*) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
