Vulnerabilities > CVE-2019-18222 - Information Exposure Through Discrepancy vulnerability in multiple products
Attack vector
LOCAL Attack complexity
HIGH Privileges required
LOW Confidentiality impact
HIGH Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
NONE Summary
The ECDSA signature implementation in ecdsa.c in Arm Mbed Crypto 2.1 and Mbed TLS through 2.19.1 does not reduce the blinded scalar before computing the inverse, which allows a local attacker to recover the private key via side-channel attacks.
