Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm
EUVDB-ID: #VU15707
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
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.

3) Cryptographic issues
EUVDB-ID: #VU15709
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
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.
