Log Message:
Updated nettle to 3.3.

NEWS for the Nettle 3.3 release

	This release fixes a couple of bugs, and improves resistance
	to side-channel attacks on RSA and DSA private key operations.

	Changes in behavoir:

	* Invalid private RSA keys, with an even modulo, are now
	  rejected by rsa_private_key_prepare. (Earlier versions
	  allowed such keys, even if results of using them were bogus).

	  Nettle applications are required to call
	  rsa_private_key_prepare and check the return value, before
	  using any other RSA private key functions; failing to do so
	  may result in crashes for invalid private keys. As a
	  workaround for versions of Gnutls which don't use
	  rsa_private_key_prepare, additional checks for even moduli
	  are added to the rsa_*_tr functions which are used by all
	  recent versions of Gnutls.

	* Ignore bit 255 of the x coordinate of the input point to
	  curve25519_mul, as required by RFC 7748. To differentiate at
	  compile time, curve25519.h defines the constant
	  NETTLE_CURVE25519_RFC7748.

	Security:

	* RSA and DSA now use side-channel silent modular
	  exponentiation, to defend against attacks on the private key
	  from evil processes sharing the same processor cache. This
	  attack scenario is of particular relevance when running an
	  HTTPS server on a virtual machine, where you don't know who
	  you share the cache hardware with.

	  (Private key operations on elliptic curves were already
	  side-channel silent).

	Bug fixes:

	* Fix sexp-conv crashes on invalid input. Reported by Hanno
	  Böck.

	* Fix out-of-bounds read in des_weak_p. Fixed by Nikos
	  Mavrogiannopoulos.

	* Fix a couple of formally undefined shift operations,
	  reported by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos.

	* Fix compilation with c89. Reported by Henrik Grubbström.

	New features:

	* New function memeql_sec, for side-channel silent comparison
	  of two memory areas.

	Miscellaneous:

	* Building the public key support of nettle now requires GMP
	  version 5.0 or later (unless --enable-mini-gmp is used).

	* Filenames of windows DLL libraries now include major number
	  only. So the dll names change at the same time as the
	  corresponding soname on ELF platforms. Fixed by Nikos
	  Mavrogiannopoulos.

	* Eliminate most pointer-signedness warnings. In the process,
	  the strings representing expression type for sexp_interator
	  functions were changed from const uint8_t * to const char *.
	  These functions are undocumented, and it doesn't change the
	  ABI on any platform I'm aware of.

	The shared library names are libnettle.so.6.3 and
	libhogweed.so.4.3, with sonames still libnettle.so.6 and
	libhogweed.so.4. It is intended to be fully binary compatible
	with nettle-3.1.
