CVE-2018-0495 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Echo:latest libgcrypt20 to version 1.8.3-1 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 Echo.
See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
Libgcrypt before 1.7.10 and 1.8.x before 1.8.3 allows a memory-cache side-channel attack on ECDSA signatures that can be mitigated through the use of blinding during the signing process in the _gcry_ecc_ecdsa_sign function in cipher/ecc-ecdsa.c, aka the Return Of the Hidden Number Problem or ROHNP. To discover an ECDSA key, the attacker needs access to either the local machine or a different virtual machine on the same physical host.
