2016-02-01 (CVE-2016-2196): Overwrite in P-521 reduction
The P-521 reduction function would overwrite zero to one word following the allocated block. This could potentially result in remote code execution or a crash. Found with AFL
Introduced in 1.11.10, fixed in 1.11.27
2016-02-01 (CVE-2016-2195): Heap overflow on invalid ECC point
The PointGFp constructor did not check that the affine coordinate arguments were less than the prime, but then in curve multiplication assumed that both arguments if multiplied would fit into an integer twice the size of the prime.
The bigint_mul and bigint_sqr functions received the size of the output buffer, but only used it to dispatch to a faster algorithm in c
