CVE-2020-11735  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-326  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable wolfssl to version 4.4.0+dfsg-1 or higher.

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 private-key operations in ecc.c in wolfSSL before 4.4.0 do not use a constant-time modular inverse when mapping to affine coordinates, aka a "projective coordinates leak."
