  o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  o Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in python-ecdsa.

Software Description

  o python-ecdsa - ECDSA cryptographic signature library

Details

It was discovered that python-ecdsa incorrectly handled certain signatures. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause python-ecdsa to generate
unexpected exceptions, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-14853)

It was discovered that python-ecdsa incorrectly verified DER encoding in
signatures. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform certain
malleability attacks. (CVE-2019-14859)
