Descriptions

Curve.IsOnCurve in crypto/elliptic in Go before 1.16.14 and 1.17.x before 1.17.7 can incorrectly return true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element.

Curve.IsOnCurve en crypto/elliptic en Go versiones anteriores a 1.16.14 y versiones 1.17.x anteriores a 1.17.7, puede devolver incorrectamente true en situaciones con un valor big.Int que no es un elemento de campo vĂ¡lido

A flaw was found in the elliptic package of the crypto library in golang when the IsOnCurve function could return true for invalid field elements. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this undefined behavior, affecting the availability and integrity of the resource.
