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 X509_Certificate::allowed_usage function in botan 1.11.x before 1.11.31 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging a call with more than one Key_Usage set in the enum value.
