LibTomCrypt through 1.18.1 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.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202007-53 (Dropbear: Multiple vulnerabilities)
