EulerOS 2.0 SP11 : gnutls (EulerOS-SA-2024-1813)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 200952

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the gnutls packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The Minerva attack is a cryptographic vulnerability that exploits deterministic behavior in systems like GnuTLS, leading to side-channel leaks. In specific scenarios, such as when using the GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE flag, it can result in a noticeable step in nonce size from 513 to 512 bits, exposing a potential timing side-channel.(CVE-2024-28834)

 A flaw has been discovered in GnuTLS where an application crash can be induced when attempting to verify a specially crafted .pem bundle using the 'certtool --verify-chain' command.(CVE-2024-28835)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS gnutls security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected gnutls packages.
