  • patches/packages/nettle-3.4.1-arm-1_slack14.2.txz
    This update fixes a security issue:
    A Bleichenbacher type side-channel based padding oracle attack was found
    in the way nettle handles endian conversion of RSA decrypted PKCS#1 v1.5
    data. An attacker who is able to run a process on the same physical core
    as the victim process, could use this flaw to extract plaintext or in some
    cases downgrade any TLS connections to a vulnerable server.
