Hi Release Team,
There's a vulnerability in Crypto++, the C++ class library of
cryptographic schemes.
It's CVE-2016-3995, bogus protection from timing attacks in AES
(Rijndael) cipher. GCC could optimize the protection out. The patch
(already in Sid + Stretch) prevents this. It's minor for a security
update, but can be enough for a normal package update.
Thanks for consideration,
Laszlo/GCS
