A flaw was found in curve25519-dalek. The crate’s implementation of constant-time operations on elliptic curve scalars lacks proper LLVM optimization, potentially revealing information about the scalar's bits. A local attacker can observe timing differences during scalar operations. This information leak occurs via direct execution of the vulnerable code. The consequence is a potential side-channel attack.

Description

When this bug was created, `rust-curve25519-dalek` was already 4.1.3 on all supported distros. The only tickets raised were for `atuin` package, for which I confirmed that it used 4.1.3 since the start of the import. Probably the tooling failed on this one. |
