CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade libgcrypt to version 1.6.5 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Libgcrypt before 1.6.5 does not properly perform elliptic-point curve multiplication during decryption, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to extract ECDH keys by measuring electromagnetic emanations.
