ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1747903683 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The Minerva attack is a cryptographic vulnerability that exploits
    deterministic behavior in systems like GnuTLS, leading to side-channel leaks. In specific scenarios, such
    as when using the GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE flag, it can result in a noticeable step in nonce size
    from 513 to 512 bits, exposing a potential timing side-channel. (CVE-2024-28834)

  - A flaw has been discovered in GnuTLS where an application crash can be induced when attempting to verify a
    specially crafted .pem bundle using the certtool --verify-chain command. (CVE-2024-28835)

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