Summary
The gnutls package provide the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library,
which implements cryptographic algorithms and protocols such as SSL, TLS, and
DTLS.
This package update fixes a timing side-channel in deterministic ECDSA.
Security Fix(es):
* gnutls: vulnerable to Minerva side-channel information leak (CVE-2024-28834)

Gnutls: vulnerable to minerva side-channel information leak
A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The Minerva attack is a cryptographic vulnerability that exploits deterministic behavior in systems like GnuTLS, leading to side-channel leaks. In specific scenarios, such as when using the GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE flag, it…
