    ##### **Changelog**

    ```
    * Mon Jun 15 2026 Paul Howarth <[email protected]> - 1.21-1
    - Update to 1.21
      - Fixed key material reuse for multiple signing events (CVE-2026-12205,
        CWE-323)
        - sign() reused the DSA nonce k across signatures (r and k^-1 were cached
          on the key and not regenerated), allowing private-key recovery from two
          signatures over different messages
        - Now generates a fresh nonce per signature
        - Keys used to sign more than once with an affected version should be
          considered compromised
    * Fri Jun 12 2026 Yaakov Selkowitz <[email protected]> - 1.20-2
    - Rebuilt for openssl 4.0

    ```
