Description

Updated gnutls packages fix security vulnerabilities

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 can result in a noticeable

step in nonce size from 513 to 512 bits, exposing a potential timing

side-channel. (CVE-2024-28834)

A flaw has been discovered in GnuTLS where an application crash can be

induced when attempting to verify a specially crafted .pem bundle using

the "certtool --verify-chain" command. (CVE-2024-28835)
