Subject: CVE Request: invalid curve attack on bouncycastle
Hello,
bouncycastle versions older than 1.51 are vulnerable to an
invalid curve attack as described in this article:
http://web-in-security.blogspot.ca/2015/09/practical-invalid-curve-attacks.html
The attack allows to extract private keys used in elliptic curve
crytpography with a few thousands queries.
According to upstream developer Peter Dettman, the issue has been fixed
with those two commits:
https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/commit/5cb2f05
https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/commit/e25e94a
Could a CVE be assigned to this issue?
Thank you.
