NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream iperf3 package and not the iperf3 package as distributed by AlmaLinux.
See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
iPerf3 before 3.17, when used with OpenSSL before 3.2.0 as a server with RSA authentication, allows a timing side channel in RSA decryption operations. This side channel could be sufficient for an attacker to recover credential plaintext. It requires the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption, as described in "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack" by Hubert Kario.
