slackware
March 31, 2020
New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to fix a security issue
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/gnutls-3.6.13-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: libgnutls: Fix a DTLS-protocol regression (caused by TLS1.3 support), since 3.6.3. The DTLS client would not contribute any randomness to the DTLS negotiation, breaking the security guarantees of the DTLS protocol. [GNUTLS-SA-2020-03-31, CVSS: high] (* Security fix *)
