This update for libressl to version 2.8.0 fixes the following issues:
Security issues fixed:
- CVE-2018-12434: Avoid a timing side-channel leak when generating DSA and
ECDSA signatures. (boo#1097779)
- Reject excessively large primes in DH key generation.
Other bugs fixed:
- Fixed a pair of 20+ year-old bugs in X509_NAME_add_entry.
- Tighten up checks for various X509_VERIFY_PARAM functions, 'poisoning'

- Fixed a potential memory leak on failure in ASN1_item_digest.
- Fixed a potential memory alignment crash in asn1_item_combine_free.
- Removed unused SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED and
