Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in nettle, a low level
cryptographic library, which could result in denial of service (remote
crash in RSA decryption via specially crafted ciphertext, crash on ECDSA
signature verification) or incorrect verification of ECDSA signatures.
For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.4.1-1+deb10u1.
