EulerOS 2.0 SP11 : gnutls (EulerOS-SA-2023-2291)

high Nessus Plugin ID 177939

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 timing side-channel in the handling of RSA ClientKeyExchange messages was discovered in GnuTLS. This side-channel can be sufficient to recover the key encrypted in the RSA ciphertext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption the attacker would need to send a large amount of specially crafted messages to the vulnerable server. By recovering the secret from the ClientKeyExchange message, the attacker would be able to decrypt the application data exchanged over that connection. (CVE-2023-0361)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected gnutls packages.
