USN-4236-1 fixed a vulnerability in Libgcrypt. This update provides the corresponding fix for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

It was discovered that Libgcrypt was susceptible to a ECDSA timing attack. An attacker could possibly use this attack to recover sensitive information.

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.
