The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2023:1141 advisory.

  • A timing side-channel in the handling of RSA ClientKeyExchange messages was discovered in GnuTLS. This side-channel can be sufficient to recover the key encrypted in the RSA ciphertext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption the attacker would need to send a large amount of specially crafted messages to the vulnerable server. By recovering the secret from the ClientKeyExchange message, the attacker would be able to decrypt the application data exchanged over that connection. (CVE-2023-0361)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
