NVD Description

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

The RSA-CRT implementation in PolarSSL before 1.2.9 does not properly perform Montgomery multiplication, which might allow remote attackers to conduct a timing side-channel attack and retrieve RSA private keys.
