CVE-2016-2849 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:18.04.
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.
Botan before 1.10.13 and 1.11.x before 1.11.29 do not use a constant-time algorithm to perform a modular inverse on the signature nonce k, which might allow remote attackers to obtain ECDSA secret keys via a timing side-channel attack.
