MGASA-2012-0202

Date: August 6th, 2012
Affected releases: 1


Description:
Updated gnutls packages fix security vulnerability:

The DTLS implementation in GnuTLS 3.0.10 and earlier executes certain
error-handling code only if there is a specific relationship between a
padding length and the ciphertext size, which makes it easier for remote
attackers to recover partial plaintext via a timing side-channel attack
(CVE-2012-0390).


Updated Packages:
gnutls-2.10.5-2.3.mga1
lib(64)gnutls26-2.10.5-2.3.mga1
lib(64)gnutls-devel-2.10.5-2.3.mga1
