Summary
libsecp256k1 contains side-channel timing attack

Versions of libsecp256k1 prior to 0.3.1 did not execute Scalar::check_overflow in constant time. This allows an attacker to potentially leak information via a timing attack. The flaw was corrected by modifying Scalar::check_overflow to execute in constant time.
