Description David Walser 2012-07-31 02:02:47 CEST
OpenSuSE issued an advisory on March 9:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2012-03/msg00010.html

This is fixed in the version of gnutls we have in Mageia 2.

Patched package uploaded for Mageia 1.

Advisory:
========================

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 in core/updates_testing:
========================
gnutls-2.10.5-2.3.mga1
libgnutls26-2.10.5-2.3.mga1
libgnutls-devel-2.10.5-2.3.mga1

from gnutls-2.10.5-2.3.mga1.src.rpm
Comment 1 Samuel Verschelde 2012-08-05 16:59:34 CEST
The only changed file is in the packages is /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.26.16.14 from libgnutls26 (i586), and also devel files from libgnutls-devel. gnutls itself is unchanged.

"gnutls-cli www.mageia.org" shows handshake works. Then type anything and get a 400 error from mageia server, it shows the connection works.
