Samuel Weiser discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled DSA signing.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and recover private DSA keys. (CVE-2018-0734)

Samuel Weiser discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled ECDSA signing. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and recover private ECDSA keys. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.10. (CVE-2018-0735)

Billy Bob Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, and Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya discovered that Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) architectures are vulnerable to side-channel leakage. This issue is known as ‘PortSmash’. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and recover private keys. (CVE-2018-5407).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
