-  This bugfix has not been pushed to the public Gluon repository yet to avoid

-  disclosing information on the issue. A detailed advisory will be published at
+  allows forgery of cryptographic signatures. This vulnerability can be
-  the same time as the Gluon release.
+  exploited to create a manifest accepted by the autoupdater without knowledge
+  of the signers' private keys. By intercepting nodes' connections to the update
+  server, such a manifest allows to distribute malicious firmware updates.
+
+  This is a **critical** vulnerability. All nodes with autoupdater must be
+  updated. Requiring multiple signatures for an update does *not* mitigate the
+  issue.
+
+  As a temporary workaround, the issue can be mitigated on individual nodes by
+  disabling the autoupdater via config mode or using the following commands::
+
+    uci set autoupdater.settings.enabled=0
+    uci commit autoupdater
+
+  A fixed firmware should be installed manually before enabling the autoupdater
+  again.
+
+  See security advisory `GHSA-qhcg-9ffp-78pw
+  <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/ecdsautils/security/advisories/GHSA-qhcg-9ffp-78pw>`_

++Subject: [PATCH] verify: fix signature verification (CVE-2022-24884)
++
++Verify that r and s are non-zero. Without these checks, an all-zero
++signature is always considered valid.
++
++While it would be nicer to error out in ecdsa_verify_prepare_legacy()
++already, that would require users of libecdsautil to check a return value
++of the prepare step. To be safe, implement the fix in an API/ABI-compatible
++way that doesn't need changes to the users.
