CVE-2019-13629

Published Oct 3, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 5.9 Medium EPSS 1.2% KEV · Not listed
Description
MatrixSSL 4.2.1 and earlier contains a timing side channel in ECDSA signature generation. This allows a local or a remote attacker, able to measure the duration of hundreds to thousands of signing operations, to compute the private key used. The issue occurs because crypto/pubkey/ecc_math.c scalar multiplication leaks the bit length of the scalar.
