  - A vulnerability was found that the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange
    differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. (CVE-2023-5981)

  - A vulnerability was found in GnuTLS. The response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK
    ClientKeyExchange differ from the response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. This
    issue may allow a remote attacker to perform a timing side-channel attack in the RSA-PSK key exchange,
    potentially leading to the leakage of sensitive data. CVE-2024-0553 is designated as an incomplete
    resolution for CVE-2023-5981. (CVE-2024-0553)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
