Build on from #23950 we have two more issues surrounding DSA.

One has a CVE, CVE-2018-0734 @ https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20181030.txt

Severity: Low

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.

Due to the low severity of this issue we are not issuing a new release
of OpenSSL 1.1.1, 1.1.0 or 1.0.2 at this time. The fix will be included
in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, OpenSSL 1.1.0j and OpenSSL 1.0.2q when they become
available.

The other runs into OpenSSL's severity-level policy for CVE assignment and doesn't quite make it so we don't have a CVE for it. openssl/openssl#7487

There is a side channel attack against the division used to calculate one of
the modulo inverses in the DSA algorithm. This change takes advantage of the
primality of the modulo and Fermat's little theorem to calculate the inverse
without leaking information.

If this is accepted I'll put in a PR for 6 & 8 since they have different patches (for 1.0.2).

FWIW I don't believe any of these rise to much of a meaningful level of severity. We're seeing an expected wave of timing attack vulnerabilities being discovered because this is the hottest area for research right now (for good reason, it's fascinating!). But a lot of them are more academic in nature in that they require very specific circumstances to be able to build a successful attack. And in these cases I don't believe exploits have been published anywhere.

Still worth floating on our releases I reckon though. Erring on the side of security is what the vast majority of our users want to see us do.

Original commit message:

    Avoid a timing attack that leaks information via a side channel that
    triggers when a BN is resized.  Increasing the size of the BNs
    prior to doing anything with them suppresses the attack.

@rvagg IIUC this will be part of the next OpenSSL release, so I'm adding the dont-land-on label. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
