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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The C software implementation of ECC in wolfSSL (formerly CyaSSL) before 3.9.10 makes it easier for local users to discover RSA keys by leveraging cache-bank hit differences.
