gnutls-3.7.6-18.el9

The gnutls packages provide the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library, which implements cryptographic algorithms and protocols such as SSL, TLS, and DTLS.

Security Fix(es):

* gnutls: timing side-channel in the TLS RSA key exchange code (CVE-2023-0361)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* CCM tag length should be limited to known values
* In FIPS mode, gnutls should reject RSASSA-PSS salt lengths larger than the output size of the hash function used, or provide an indicator
* dracut-cmdline[554]: Error in GnuTLS initialization: Error while performing self checks i FIPS mode

CVE-2023-0361
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.
