Master (nss version 3.54) is not affected by this issue. This is a backport
from nss version 3.54.

NSS has shown timing differences when performing DSA signatures, which was
exploitable and could eventually leak private keys. This vulnerability affects
Thunderbird < 68.9.0, Firefox < 77, and Firefox ESR < 68.9.
