Debian DSA-4652-1 : gnutls28 - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 135207

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

A flaw was reported in the DTLS protocol implementation in GnuTLS, a library implementing the TLS and SSL protocols. The DTLS client would not contribute any randomness to the DTLS negotiation, breaking the security guarantees of the DTLS protocol.

Solution

Upgrade the gnutls28 packages.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.7-4+deb10u3.
