CVE-2018-10845
It was found that the GnuTLS implementation of HMAC-SHA-384 was vulnerable to a Lucky thirteen style attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.58%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
It was found that the GnuTLS implementation of HMAC-SHA-384 was vulnerable to a Lucky thirteen style attack. Remote attackers could use this flaw to conduct distinguishing attacks and plain text recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data using crafted packets.
