NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream botan package and not the botan package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Botan before 3.6.0, when certain LLVM versions are used, has compiler-induced secret-dependent control flow in lib/utils/ghash/ghash.cpp in GHASH in AES-GCM. There is a branch instead of an XOR with carry. This was observed for Clang in LLVM 15 on RISC-V.
