CVE-2016-8671: Infoleak
First published: Fri Jan 13 2017(Updated: )
The pstm_exptmod function in MatrixSSL 3.8.6 and earlier does not properly perform modular exponentiation, which might allow remote attackers to predict the secret key via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-6887.
