During RSA key generation, bignum implementations used a variation of the
Binary Extended Euclidean Algorithm which entailed significantly
input-dependent flow. This allowed an attacker able to perform
electromagnetic-based side channel attacks to record traces leading to the
recovery of the secret primes. Note: An unmodified Firefox browser does
not generate RSA keys in normal operation and is not affected, but products
built on top of it might. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 78.
