Synopsis
=======
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSL, the worst of which
allows attackers to conduct a time based side-channel attack.

Background
=========
OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general
purpose cryptography library.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-libs/openssl             < 1.0.2j                  >= 1.0.2j 

Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL. Please review
the CVE identifiers and the International Association for Cryptologic
Research's (IACR) paper, "Make Sure DSA Signing Exponentiations Really
are Constant-Time" for further details.

Impact
=====
Remote attackers could cause a Denial of Service condition or have
other unspecified impacts. Additionally, a time based side-channel
attack may allow a local attacker to recover a private DSA key.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All OpenSSL users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
   # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2j"
