Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Montgomery code in the math/big library in Go 1.5.x before version 1.5.3 mishandles carry propagation, leading to incorrect output. This makes it easier for attackers to obtain private RSA keys via unspecified vectors.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be at risk of private RSA key theft, potentially leading to serious security breaches and loss of data confidentiality.
