Gnu · Gnutls · CVE-2013-1619
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
GnuTLS versions prior to 2.12.23
GnuTLS versions 3.0.x prior to 3.0.28
GnuTLS versions 3.1.x prior to 3.1.7
**Description**
The issue affects the TLS implementation in GnuTLS, allowing remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets. This is related to the improper consideration of timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding.
**Recommendations**
For GnuTLS versions prior to 2.12.23, update to version 2.12.23 or later.
For GnuTLS versions 3.0.x prior to 3.0.28, update to version 3.0.28 or later.
For GnuTLS versions 3.1.x prior to 3.1.7, update to version 3.1.7 or later.
