CVE-2018-0734 — Timing attack against DSA

Affected: OpenSSL

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. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1a (Affected 1.1.1). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.0j (Affected 1.1.0-1.1.0i). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2q (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2p).

USN-3840-1 — openssl, openssl1.0 vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:14.04:LTS: openssl, Ubuntu:16.04:LTS: openssl, Ubuntu:18.04:LTS: openssl, Ubuntu:18.04:LTS: openssl1.0

Samuel Weiser discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled DSA signing. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and recover private DSA keys. (CVE-2018-0734)

Samuel Weiser discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled ECDSA signing. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and recover private ECDSA keys. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.10. (CVE-2018-0735)

Billy Bob Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, and Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya discovered that Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) architectures are vulnerable to side-channel leakage. This issue is known as "PortSmash". An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and recover private keys. (CVE-2018-5407)
