Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Resource due to the improper implementation of TRNG functionality by the ECDSA signing driver when exiting EM2/EM3 modes on Virtual Secure Vault (VSE) devices. An attacker can spoof signatures by recreating keys, which are trusted if invoked before calling psa_generate_random or psa_generate_key.
