* Mon Jun 15 2026 Paul Howarth - 1.21-1 - Update to 1.21 - Fixed key material reuse for multiple signing events (CVE-2026-12205, CWE-323) - sign() reused the DSA nonce k across signatures (r and k^-1 were cached on the key and not regenerated), allowing private-key recovery from two signatures over different messages - Now generates a fresh nonce per signature - Keys used to sign more than once with an affected version should be considered compromised * Fri Jun 12 2026 Yaakov Selkowitz - 1.20-2 - Rebuilt for openssl 4.0
