 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : iperf3 Version : 3.9-1+deb11u2 CVE ID : CVE-2023-7250 CVE-2024-26306 CVE-2024-53580 Debian Bug : 1071751 1090931

 Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in iperf3, an internet protocol bandwidth measuring tool, which may lead to a denial-of-service. When iperf3 was used as a server with RSA authentication CVE-2024-26306 allowed a timing side channel attack in RSA decryption operations sufficient for an attacker to recover credential plaintext.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 3.9-1+deb11u2.

 We recommend that you upgrade your iperf3 packages.

 For the detailed security status of iperf3 please refer to its security tracker page at:
