Package        : gnutls28
Version        : 3.6.7-4+deb10u11
CVE ID         : CVE-2023-5981
Debian Bug     : 1056188

A vulnerability was found in GnuTLS, a secure communications library, which
may facilitate a timing attack to compromise a cryptographic system. The
response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange differ
from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. Only
TLS ciphertext processing is affected.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
3.6.7-4+deb10u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnutls28 packages.

For the detailed security status of gnutls28 please refer to
