GHSA-978J-88F3-P5J3

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-06-17 00:18 – Updated: 2022-06-17 00:18

Summary

Threshold value is ignored (all shares are n=3)

Details

Affected versions of this crate did not properly calculate secret shares requirements.

This reduces the security of the algorithm by restricting the crate to always using a threshold value of three, rather than a configurable limit.

The flaw was corrected by correctly configuring the threshold.
