RHSA-2020%3A4383 PUBLISHED CVSS 4.800000190734863 MEDIUM

An integer overflow was found in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. As per upstream: * No EC algorithms are affected. * Attacks against 2-prime RSA1024, 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. * Attacks against DH512 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway. * Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME
