NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wolfssl package and not the wolfssl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 4.3.0 in a non-default configuration where DSA is enabled. DSA signing uses the BEEA algorithm during modular inversion of the nonce, leading to a side-channel attack against the nonce.
