CVE-2016-7420: oss-security - Re: Does a documentation bug elevate to CVE status?
Crypto++ (aka cryptopp) through 5.6.4 does not document the requirement for a compile-time NDEBUG definition disabling the many assert calls that are unintended in production use, which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to process memory after an assertion failure, as demonstrated by reading a core dump.

Damn, you guys are ruthless…
The Crypto++ project is tracking this at https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/issues/277.
Please make it a public bug/CVE. The Crypto++ project believe in complete transparency so decision makers can assess risk and and apply remediations commensurate with their data security posture.
Jeffrey Walton on behalf of Crypto++ project.
