* CVE-2015-3216: Fixed a potential crash in ssleay_rand_bytes due to
locking regression.
* fixed a timing side channel in RSA decryption (bnc#929678)
Additional changes:
* In the default SSL cipher string EXPORT ciphers are now disabled.
This will only get active if applications get rebuilt and actually
use this string. (bnc#931698)
* Added the ECC ciphersuites to the DEFAULT cipher class (bnc#879179)
