| Name | CVE-2018-0734 |
| Description | 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). |

Actually the version in Jessie is not vulnerable. Nevertheless there is a bug fix which
futher reduces the amount of leaked timing information. It got no CVE on its own and
introduced this vulnerability. In order to not forget this issue and probably get more
information about it later, it is marked as <postponed> instead of <not-affected>
