CVE-2016-6879

The X509_Certificate::allowed_usage function in botan 1.11.x before 1.11.31
might allow attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging a call with more
than one Key_Usage set in the enum value.

Comment 1 Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin 2017-04-11 07:36:25 UTC

As this only impacts the 1.11.x branch while we are based on the 1.10.x branch, I don't think we are concerned by this bug

Comment 2 Daniel Molkentin 2017-04-11 12:26:06 UTC

Agreed. Closing.
