+Security
+   * Fix potential memory overread when performing an ECDSA signature
+     operation. The overread only happens with cryptographically low
+     probability (of the order of 2^-n where n is the bitsize of the curve)
+     unless the RNG is broken, and could result in information disclosure or
+     denial of service (application crash or extra resource consumption).
+     Reported by Peter and Auke (found using static analysis).
