Summary
Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2018-10846: A cache-based side channel attack was found in the way GnuTLS implements CBC-mode cipher suites. An attacker could use a combination of "Just in Time" Prime+probe and Lucky-13 attacks to recover plain text in a cross-VM attack scenario. 1582574: CVE-2018-10846 gnutls: "Just in Time" PRIME + PROBE cache-based side channel attack can lead to plaintext recovery CVE-2018-10845: It was found that GnuTLS's implementation of HMAC-SHA-384 was vulnerable to a Lucky Thirteen-style attack. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct distinguishing attacks and plain text recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data using crafted packets. 1582572: CVE-2018-10845 gnutls: HMAC-SHA-384 vulnerable to Lucky thirteen attack due to use of wrong constant CVE-2018-10844: It was found that GnuTLS's implementation of HMAC-SHA-256 was vulnerable to Lucky Thirteen-style attack. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct distinguishing attacks and plain text recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data using crafted packets. 1582571: CVE-2018-10844 gnutls: HMAC-SHA-256 vulnerable to Lucky thirteen attack due to not enough dummy function calls
