Description Sandipan Roy 2023-06-26 08:32:04 UTC 
NEWS for the Nettle 3.9.1 release:
This is a bugfix release, fixing a few bugs reported for Nettle-3.9. The bug in the new OCB code may be exploitable for denial of service or worse, since triggering it leads to memory corruption. Upgrading from Nettle-3.9 to the new version is strongly recommended.
