+	  <p>
+	    I've prepared a new bug-fix release of Nettle, a low-level
+	    cryptographics library, to fix a serious bug in the function to
+	    verify ECDSA signatures. Implications include an assertion failure,
+	    which could be used for denial-of-service, when verifying signatures
+	    on the secp_224r1 and secp521_r1 curves.
+	  </p>
+	  <p>
+	    Even when no assert is triggered in ecdsa_verify, ECC point
+	    multiplication may get invalid intermediate values as input, and
+	    produce incorrect results. [...] It appears difficult to construct
+	    an alleged signature that makes the function misbehave in such a way
+	    that an invalid signature is accepted as valid, but such attacks
+	    can't be ruled out without further analysis.
