CVE-2021-29415
Last modified
CVE-2021-29415 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) hardware accelerator, part of the ARM® TrustZone® CryptoCell 310, contained in the NordicSemiconductor nRF52840 through 2021-03-29 has a non-constant time ECDSA implemenation. This allows an adversary to recover the private ECC key used during an ECDSA operation.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
