Janos Follath 0b39d1ed7d Update Marvin fix Changelog entry
Upon further consideration we think that a remote attacker close to the
victim might be able to have precise enough timing information to
exploit the side channel as well. Update the Changelog to reflect this.

* Fix a timing side channel in private key RSA operations. This side channel
could be sufficient for an attacker to recover the plaintext. A local
attacker or a remote attacker who is close to the victim on the network
might have precise enough timing measurements to exploit this. It requires
the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption. For
details, see "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack", Hubert Kario. Reported
by Hubert Kario, Red Hat.
