Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- io.finnet tss-lib before 2.0.0 can leak a secret key via a timing side-channel attack because it relies on
the scalar-multiplication implementation in Go crypto/elliptic, which is not constant time (there is an if
statement in a loop). One leak is in ecdsa/keygen/round_2.go. (bnb-chain/tss-lib and thorchain/tss are
also affected.) (CVE-2023-26556)
