Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Fault Injection through the wc_ed25519_sign_msg function. An attacker can disclose sensitive information and escalate privileges by exploiting the Rowhammer fault injection technique to manipulate the ed25519_key structure. This is only exploitable if the attacker co-resides on the same system with the victim process.
