In the Go programming language, Curve.IsOnCurve in crypto/elliptic can incorrectly return true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element. Operating on those values may cause a panic or an invalid curve operation.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.3.3-1+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your golang packages.
