CVE-2015-5738 is a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) in Marvell Software Development Kit, published July 26, 2016. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 2.43%, the 84th percentile. Fixed in libgcrypt 1.7.3-1.3.
The RSA-CRT implementation in the Cavium Software Development Kit (SDK) 2.x, when used on OCTEON II CN6xxx Hardware on Linux to support TLS with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain private RSA keys by conducting a Lenstra side-channel attack.
