  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"Issue summary: A timing side-channel which could potentially allow
remote recovery of the private key exists in the SM2 algorithm
implementation on 64 bit ARM platforms.  Impact summary: A timing
side-channel in SM2 signature computations on 64 bit ARM platforms
could allow recovering the private key by an attacker..  While remote
key recovery over a network was not attempted by the reporter, timing
measurements revealed a timing signal which may allow such an attack.
OpenSSL does not directly support certificates with SM2 keys in TLS,
and so this CVE is not relevant in most TLS contexts.  However, given
that it is possible to add support for such certificates via a custom
provider, coupled with the fact that in such a custom provider context
the private key may be recoverable via remote timing measurements, we
consider this to be a Moderate severity issue.  The FIPS modules in
3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as SM2
is not an approved algorithm.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
