NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream botan1.10 package and not the botan1.10 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the P-521 reduction function in Botan 1.11.x before 1.11.27 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory overwrite and crash) or execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
