SCA: security update for fastecdsa (GHSA-56wv-2wr9-3h9r)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410639
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- An issue was discovered in fastecdsa before 2.1.2. When using the NIST P-256 curve in the ECDSA
implementation, the point at infinity is mishandled. This means that for an extreme value in k and s^-1,
the signature verification fails even if the signature is correct. This behavior is not solely a usability
problem. There are some threat models where an attacker can benefit by successfully guessing users for
whom signature verification will fail. (CVE-2020-12607)
