CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5981
CWE-ID:
CWE-208 - Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform timing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. A remote attacker can perform timing sidechannel attack in RSA-PSK key exchange.
MitigationUpdate the affected package gnutls to the latest version.
