Dist Opensuse Esm H88
Addresses severe gnutls security flaws related to SSL authentication and timing attack vulnerabilities on openSUSE platforms.
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available

Description

The gnutls library was updated to fix SSL certificate

valid even though it was not. Also the TLS-CBC timing

attack vulnerability was fixed.
