  • Version 3.5.19 (released 2018-07-16)

libgnutls: Backported PKCS#11 module improvements in initialization

from master branch.

libgnutls: Corrected infinite loop when an incorrect PIN was provided

via pin-value or pin-source.

Improved counter-measures for TLS CBC record padding. Kenny Paterson, Eyal Ronen

and Adi Shamir reported that the existing counter-measures had certain issues and were insufficient when the attacker has additional access to the CPU cache and performs a chosen-plaintext attack. This affected the legacy CBC ciphersuites. [CVSS: medium]

The ciphers utilizing HMAC-SHA384 and SHA256 have been removed from the default

priority strings. They are not necessary for compatibility or other purpose and provide no advantage over their SHA1 counter-parts, as they all depend on the legacy TLS CBC block mode.

API and ABI modifications: No changes since last version.
