Package : mbedtls
Type    : private key recovery
Remote  : No
Link    : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1104

Summary

Description
==========
The ECDSA signature implementation in ecdsa.c in Arm Mbed Crypto before
3.0.1 and Mbed TLS before 2.20.0, 2.16.4 or 2.7.13 does not reduce the
blinded scalar before computing the inverse, which allows a local
