Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm
EUVDB-ID: #VU15707
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10844
CWE-ID:
CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of an insecure implementation of HMAC-SHA-256 algorithm vulnerable to a Lucky thirteen style attack. A remote attacker with ability to intercept traffic can recover encrypted data.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

3) Cryptographic issues
EUVDB-ID: #VU15709
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10846
CWE-ID:
CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a cache-based side channel in GnuTLS implementation that can lead to recovery of data in cross-VM attack setting. A remote attacker with ability to intercept traffic can recover encrypted data using a combination of "Just in Time" Prime+probe attack in combination with Lucky-13 attack.
