Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.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)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS gnutls security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
