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

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 libgcrypt11 to version 1.5.0-3ubuntu0.5 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgcrypt11 package and not the libgcrypt11 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 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.
