-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] nettle (SSA:2018-339-02) New nettle packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ 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. For more information, see: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-1...
