CVE-2020-6829 is fixed in 16 products on 2 platforms, first by libnss3 2:3.35-2ubuntu2.11, released August 4, 2020. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
When performing EC scalar point multiplication, the wNAF point multiplication algorithm was used; which leaked partial information about the nonce used during signature generation. Given an electro-magnetic trace of a few signature generations, the private key could have been computed. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80.
