It was found that GnuTLS’s implementation of HMAC-SHA-256 was vulnerable to Lucky Thirteen-style attack. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct distinguishing attacks and plain text recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data using crafted packets.(CVE-2018-10844)
It was found that GnuTLS’s implementation of HMAC-SHA-384 was vulnerable to a Lucky Thirteen-style attack. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct distinguishing attacks and plain text recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data using crafted packets.(CVE-2018-10845)
A cache-based side channel attack was found in the way GnuTLS implements CBC-mode cipher suites. An attacker could use a combination of ‘Just in Time’ Prime+probe and Lucky-13 attacks to recover plain text in a cross-VM attack scenario.(CVE-2018-10846)
