+ <p>Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in
+ almost any context: In cryptographic toolkits for object-oriented

+ <description>
+ <p>It was discovered that Nettle incorrectly handled signature
+ verification.
+ </p>

+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>A remote attacker could send a specially crafted valid-looking input
+ signature, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition or force
+ an invalid signature.
+ </p>

+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All Nettle users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>

+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/nettle-3.7.2"
+ </code>
