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.

The Curve25519 code in botan before 1.11.31, on systems without a native 128-bit integer type, might allow attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to undefined behavior, as demonstrated on 32-bit ARM systems compiled by Clang.
