CVE-2012-0390

GnuTLS 3.0.10 - Timing Side-Channel Attack

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The DTLS implementation in GnuTLS 3.0.10 and earlier executes certain error-handling code only if there is a specific relationship between a padding length and the ciphertext size, which makes it easier for remote attackers to recover partial plaintext via a timing side-channel attack, a related issue to CVE-2011-4108.
