Debian DSA-4697-1 : gnutls28 - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 137209

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

A flaw was reported in the TLS session ticket key construction in GnuTLS, a library implementing the TLS and SSL protocols. The flaw caused the TLS server to not securely construct a session ticket encryption key considering the application supplied secret, allowing a man-in-the-middle attacker to bypass authentication in TLS 1.3 and recover previous conversations in TLS 1.2.

Solution

Upgrade the gnutls28 packages.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.7-4+deb10u4.
