Description Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-02 09:15:37 UTC 
From $URL:

The elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) subsystem in OpenSSL 1.0.0d and earlier, when the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is used for the ECDHE_ECDSA cipher suite, does not properly implement curves over binary fields, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine private keys via a timing attack and a lattice calculation.

Sorry, not sure how I missed this one before releasing the last OpenSSL GLSA. 

This issue was fixed in dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8s and dev-libs/openssl-1.0.0e:
http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=20895
http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=20894

GLSA vote: yes.

GLSA Vote: yes. Request filed.
Comment 4 GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2013-12-03 04:27:40 UTC 
This issue was resolved and addressed in
 GLSA 201312-03 at http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201312-03.xml
by GLSA coordinator Chris Reffett (creffett).
