Botan · Botan · CVE-2016-2849
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Botan versions prior to 1.10.13
Botan versions 1.11.x prior to 1.11.29
**Description**
The issue is related to the modular inverse operation on the signature nonce k in the ECDSA algorithm. It does not use a constant-time algorithm, which might allow remote attackers to obtain ECDSA secret keys via a timing side-channel attack.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.10.13, update to version 1.10.13 or later.
For versions 1.11.x prior to 1.11.29, update to version 1.11.29 or later.
