How to fix?

Upgrade botan to version 1.10.11 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Integer overflow in the PointGFp constructor in Botan before 1.10.11 and 1.11.x before 1.11.27 allows remote attackers to overwrite memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ECC point, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
