Description Christopher Fore 2023-11-27 15:19:24 UTC
CVE-2023-5981 (https://gnutls.org/security-new.html#GNUTLS-SA-2023-10-23):

A vulnerability was found that the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. Only TLS ciphertext processing is affected. The issue was reported in the issue tracker as #1511.
Recommendation: To address the issue found upgrade to GnuTLS 3.8.2 or later versions.

Please only put versions in the summary (title) if they're in tree - we put the first fixed version in tree in the title.

3.8.2 is not yet in tree because of https://gitlab.com/gnutls/web-pages/-/issues/6.

Please also remember to CC maintainers of the package.
