CVE-2015-7511  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable libgcrypt20 to version 1.6.5-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgcrypt20 package and not the libgcrypt20 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Libgcrypt before 1.6.5 does not properly perform elliptic-point curve multiplication during decryption, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to extract ECDH keys by measuring electromagnetic emanations.
