I am no expert cryptographer, it is likely that if I try backporting such patches I will get something wrong that introduces more flaws. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2021-20305 - no patch backported yet https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/nettle - no patch backported either It would be best if Nettle adopted a forever (or almost) backwards compatible ABI from now on like curl (https://curl.se/libcurl/abi.html) so that such things don't happen again. Thank you, Léo
