There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - An issue was discovered in Botan 1.11.32 through 2.x before 2.6.0. An off-by-one error when processing
 malformed TLS-CBC ciphertext could cause the receiving side to include in the HMAC computation exactly 64K
