   An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   This update for libgcrypt fixes the following issues:

   Security issues fixed:

   - CVE-2019-12904: The C implementation of AES is vulnerable to a
     flush-and-reload side-channel attack because physical addresses are
     available to other processes. (The C implementation is used on platforms
     where an assembly-language implementation is unavailable.) (bsc#1138939)

   Other bugfixes:

   - Don't run full FIPS self-tests from constructor (bsc#1097073)
   - Skip all the self-tests except for binary integrity when called from the
     constructor (bsc#1097073)
   - Enforce the minimal RSA keygen size in fips mode (bsc#1125740)
   - avoid executing some tests twice.
   - Fixed a race condition in initialization.
   - Fixed env-script-interpreter in cavs_driver.pl
   - Fixed redundant fips tests in some situations causing failure to boot in
     fips mode. (bsc#1097073)

   This helps during booting of the system in FIPS mode with insufficient
   entropy.
