CVE-2018-12436
Estado: ModificadaMedia (4.7)—
wolfcrypt/src/ecc.c in wolfSSL before 3.15.1.patch allows a memory-cache side-channel attack on ECDSA signatures, aka the Return Of the Hidden Number Problem or ROHNP. To discover an ECDSA key, the attacker needs access to either the local machine or a different virtual machine on the same physical host.
