Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnutls package and not the gnutls package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol, has many single-byte biases, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of ciphertext in a large number of sessions that use the same plaintext.
