CVE-2020-12607 (GCVE-0-2020-12607)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-06-02 21:00 – Updated: 2024-08-04 12:04
VLAI?
Summary
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.
Severity ?
