crypto/elliptic: reduce subtraction term to prevent long busy loop
If beta8 is unusually large, the addition loop might take a very long time to bring x3-beta8 back positive. This would lead to a DoS vulnerability in the implementation of the P-521 and P-384 elliptic curves that may let an attacker craft inputs to ScalarMult that consume excessive amounts of CPU. This fixes CVE-2019-6486. Fixes #29903 Change-Id: Ia969e8b5bf5ac4071a00722de9d5e4d856d8071a Reviewed-on: https://team-review.git.corp.google.com/c/399777Reviewed-by: Adam Langley <agl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Julie Qiu <julieqiu@google.com> Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/159218Reviewed-by: Julie Qiu <julie@golang.org>
