Botan before 1.10.13 and 1.11.x before 1.11.29 do not use a constant-time algorithm to perform a modular inverse on the signature nonce k, which might allow remote attackers to obtain ECDSA secret keys via a timing side-channel attack.

CVE-2016-2849 [HIGH] CVE-2016-2849 CVE-2016-2850 botan: two issues fixed in 1.11.29
CVE-2016-2849 CVE-2016-2850 botan: two issues fixed in 1.11.29
The following issues were fixed in the 1.11.29 release of botan:
(CVE-2016-2849): ECDSA side channel
ECDSA (and DSA) signature algorithms perform a modular inverse on the signature nonce k. The modular inverse algorithm used had input dependent loops, and it is possible a side channel attack could recover sufficient information about the nonce to eventually recover the ECDSA secret key. Found by Sean Devlin.
Introduced in 1.7.15, fixed in 1.11.29
2016-03-17 (CVE-2016-2850): Failure to enforce TLS policy
TLS v1.2 allows negotiating which signature algorithms and hash functions each side is willing to accept. However received signatures were not actually checked against the specified policy. This had the effect of allowing
