CWE-ID:
CWE-385
Exploitation vector: Network
Exploit availability: No
Vulnerable software:
OpenSSL

Encryption software
Vendor: OpenSSL Software Foundation
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to recover a private key.
The vulnerability exists due to a timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations. A remote attacker can recover the private key and decrypt data.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the attacker's process must either be located in the same physical computer or must have a very fast network connection with low latency.
Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
