SUSE Security Patch for compat-openssl098 tackles several significant vulnerabilities and offers essential remedies for its user base.
An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has two fixes is now available

Summary

This update for compat-openssl098 fixes the following security issues: - CVE-2018-0732: During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a malicious server could have sent a very large prime value to the client. This caused the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack (bsc#1097158) - Blinding enhancements for ECDSA and DSA (bsc#1097624, bsc#1098592) - CVE-2018-0737: The RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could have recovered the private key (bsc#1089039)
