It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2750 advisory.

    Issue summary: A timing side-channel which could potentially allow recoveringthe private key exists in the     ECDSA signature computation.

    Impact summary: A timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computationscould allow recovering the private     key by an attacker. However, measuringthe timing would require either local access to the signing     application ora very fast network connection with low latency.

    There is a timing signal of around 300 nanoseconds when the top word ofthe inverted ECDSA nonce value is     zero. This can happen with significantprobability only for some of the supported elliptic curves. In     particularthe NIST P-521 curve is affected. To be able to measure this leak, the attackerprocess must     either be located in the same physical computer or musthave a very fast network connection with low     latency. For that reasonthe severity of this vulnerability is Low. (CVE-2024-13176)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
