Last modified
CVE-2015-7511 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Libgcrypt before 1.6.5 does not properly perform elliptic-point curve multiplication during decryption, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to extract ECDH keys by measuring electromagnetic emanations.. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
