Hi Arturo, the note is correct. Here's the patch:
diff --git lib/freebl/ec.c lib/freebl/ec.c
--- lib/freebl/ec.c
+++ lib/freebl/ec.c
@@ -297,6 +297,10 @@ done:
cleanup:
mp_clear(&k);
+ if (err < MP_OKAY) {
+ MP_TO_SEC_ERROR(err);
+ rv = SECFailure;
+ }
if (rv) {
PORT_FreeArena(arena, PR_TRUE);
}
Cheers,
John
