File openssl-CVE-2018-0734.patch of Package openssl-1_1.14217
commit ef11e19d1365eea2b1851e6f540a0bf365d303e7
Author: Pauli <paul.dale@oracle.com>

Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation (CVE-2018-0734).
Avoid a timing attack that leaks information via a side channel that
triggers when a BN is resized. Increasing the size of the BNs
prior to doing anything with them suppresses the attack.
Thanks due to Samuel Weiser for finding and locating this.
