CVE-2024-28834: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The Minerva attack is a cryptographic vulnerability that exploits deterministic behavior in systems like GnuTLS, leading to side-channel leaks. In specific scenarios, such as when using the GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE flag, it can result in a noticeable step in nonce size from 513 to 512 bits, exposing a potential timing side-channel.
