NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mingw-gnutls package and not the mingw-gnutls package as distributed by Centos.

It was found that the GnuTLS implementation of HMAC-SHA-256 was vulnerable to a Lucky thirteen style attack. Remote attackers could use this flaw to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data using crafted packets.
