"OpenSSL 3.0.0 through 3.3.2 on the PowerPC architecture is vulnerable
to a Minerva attack, exploitable by measuring the time of signing of
random messages using the EVP_DigestSign API, and then using the
private key to extract the K value (nonce) from the signatures. Next,
based on the bit size of the extracted nonce, one can compare the
signing time of full-sized nonces to signatures that used smaller
nonces, via statistical tests. There is a side-channel in the P-364
curve that allows private key extraction (also, there is a dependency
between the bit size of K and the size of the side channel). NOTE:
This CVE is disputed because the OpenSSL security policy explicitly
notes that any side channels which require same physical system to be
detected are outside of the threat model for the software. The timing
signal is so small that it is infeasible to be detected without having
the attacking process running on the same physical system.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
