Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- ARM mbed TLS before 2.12.0, before 2.7.5, and before 2.1.14 allows remote attackers to achieve partial
plaintext recovery (for a CBC based ciphersuite) via a timing-based side-channel attack. This
vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix (with a wrong SHA-384 calculation) for CVE-2013-0169.
