"An update for nettle is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in
almost any context: In cryptographic toolkits for object-oriented
languages, such as C++, Python, or Pike, in applications like lsh or
GnuPG, or even in kernel space.

Security Fix(es) :

* Multiple flaws were found in the way nettle implemented elliptic
curve scalar multiplication. These flaws could potentially introduce
cryptographic weaknesses into nettle's functionality. (CVE-2015-8803,
CVE-2015-8804, CVE-2015-8805)

* It was found that nettle's RSA and DSA decryption code was
vulnerable to cache-related side channel attacks. An attacker could
use this flaw to recover the private key from a co-located
virtual-machine instance. (CVE-2016-6489)

Additional Changes :

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section."
