Description
The gnutls library, which implements cryptographic protocols such as SSL, TLS, and DTLS, has two security vulnerabilities: a Minerva side-channel information leak (CVE-2024-28834) and a potential crash during certificate chain building/verification (CVE-2024-28835). These issues affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related distributions. A security update addressing these vulnerabilities is available from Red Hat.
