CVE-2012-0390  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-310  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 gnutls28 to version 3.0.11-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnutls28 package and not the gnutls28 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The DTLS implementation in GnuTLS 3.0.10 and earlier executes certain error-handling code only if there is a specific relationship between a padding length and the ciphertext size, which makes it easier for remote attackers to recover partial plaintext via a timing side-channel attack, a related issue to CVE-2011-4108.
