CVE-2015-7511

Libgcrypt before 1.6.5 does not properly perform elliptic-point curve multiplication during decryption, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to extract ECDH keys by measuring electromagnetic emanations.

LOW 2.0EPSS 0.43%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
