[slackware-security] gnutls (SSA:2013-242-03)
New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 14.0 and -current to fix a
security issue.
Sorry about having to reissue this one -- I pulled it from ftp.gnu.org not
realizing that the latest version there was actually months out of date.
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/gnutls-3.0.31-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded.
[Updated to the correct version to fix fetching the "latest" from gnu.org]
This update prevents a side-channel attack which may allow remote attackers
to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext recovery attacks using
statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets.
For more information, see:
