Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Observable Timing Discrepancy due to the side-channel protected T-Table implementation. An attacker can gain per instruction sub-cache-line resolution allowing them to break the cache-line-level protection by exploiting the controlled environment such as Intel SGX.
