Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published

Modified
2024-08-04 12:25
Severity ?
Summary
The Elliptic package 6.5.2 for Node.js allows ECDSA signature malleability via variations in encoding, leading '\0' bytes, or integer overflows. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact if an application relied on a single canonical signature.
