==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 20.10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Nettle could be made to crash or bypass signature verification if it
opened a specially crafted certificate.

Software Description:
- nettle: low level cryptographic library

Details:

It was discovered that Nettle incorrectly handled signature verification.
A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Nettle to crash, resulting
in a denial of service, or possibly force invalid signatures.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 20.10:
  libnettle8                      3.6-2ubuntu0.1
