Marta Rybczynska ec21b227cd libgcrypt: solve CVE-2021-33560 and CVE-2021-40528
This change fixes patches for two issues reported in a research
paper [1]: a side channel attack (*) and a cross-configuration
attack (**).

In this commit we add a fix for (*) that wasn't marked as a CVE
initially upstream. A fix of (**) previosly available in OE
backports is in fact fixing CVE-2021-40528, not CVE-2021-33560
as marked in the commit message.

We commit the accual fix for CVE-2021-33560 and rename the
existing fix with the correct CVE-2021-40528.

For details of the mismatch and the timeline see [2] (fix of the
documentation) and [3] (the related ticket upstream).

Subject: [PATCH] cipher: Fix ElGamal encryption for other implementations.
* cipher/elgamal.c (gen_k): Remove support of smaller K.
(do_encrypt): Never use smaller K.
(sign): Folllow the change of gen_k.

Cherry-pick master commit of:
632d80ef30e13de6926d503aa697f92b5dbfbc5e
This change basically reverts encryption changes in two commits:
74386120dad6b3da62db37f7044267c8ef34689b
78531373a342aeb847950f404343a05e36022065
Use of smaller K for ephemeral key in ElGamal encryption is only good,
when we can guarantee that recipient's key is generated by our
implementation (or compatible).
For detail, please see:
Luca De Feo, Bertram Poettering, Alessandro Sorniotti,
"On the (in)security of ElGamal in OpenPGP";
in the proceedings of CCS'2021.
