 Package : gnutls28 Version : 3.6.7-4+deb10u12 CVE ID : CVE-2024-0553 Debian Bug : 1061046

 Hubert Kario discovered that GnuTLS, a portable library which implements the Transport Layer Security and Datagram Transport Layer Security protocols, was vulnerable to timing side-channel attack in the RSA-PSK key exchange, which could lead to leakage of sensitive data. The issue stems from an incomplete resolution for CVE-2023-5981.

 This vulnerability is also known as GNUTLS-SA-2024-01-14.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.7-4+deb10u12.

 We recommend that you upgrade your gnutls28 packages.

 For the detailed security status of gnutls28 please refer to its security tracker page at:
