Arm · Mbed Tls · CVE-2020-36422
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Arm Mbed TLS versions prior to 2.23.0
**Description**
A side channel issue allows the recovery of an ECC private key. This is related to functions such as `mbedtls ecp check pub priv`, `mbedtls pk parse key`, `mbedtls pk parse keyfile`, `mbedtls ecp mul`, and `mbedtls ecp mul restartable`. The issue can be exploited by a remote attacker to gain access to confidential data.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2.23.0, update to version 2.23.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the functions `mbedtls ecp check pub priv`, `mbedtls pk parse key`, `mbedtls pk parse keyfile`, `mbedtls ecp mul`, and `mbedtls ecp mul restartable` to minimize the risk of exploitation.
