Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-06-01 22:28:43 UTC 
From nettle-3.9.1 release notes:
"""
NEWS for the Nettle 3.9.1 release
        This is a bugfix release, fixing a few bugs reported for
        Nettle-3.9. The bug in the new OCB code may be exploitable for
        denial of service or worse, since triggering it leads to
        memory corruption. Upgrading from Nettle-3.9 to the new
        version is strongly recommended.
