"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- Normally in OpenSSL EC groups always have a co-factor present and this is used in side channel resistant
code paths. However, in some cases, it is possible to construct a group using explicit parameters (instead
of using a named curve). In those cases it is possible that such a group does not have the cofactor
present. This can occur even where all the parameters match a known named curve. If such a curve is used
then OpenSSL falls back to non-side channel resistant code paths which may result in full key recovery
during an ECDSA signature operation. In order to be vulnerable an attacker would have to have the ability
to time the creation of a large number of signatures where explicit parameters with no co-factor present
are in use by an application using libcrypto. For the avoidance of doubt libssl is not vulnerable because
explicit parameters are never used. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1d (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1c). Fixed in OpenSSL
1.1.0l (Affected 1.1.0-1.1.0k). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2t (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2s). (CVE-2019-1547)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
