Package : gnutls26
CVE ID : CVE-2015-8313
It was discovered that GnuTLS, a library implementing the TLS and SSL
protocols, incorrectly validates the first byte of padding in CBC modes.
A remote attacker can possibly take advantage of this flaw to perform a
padding oracle attack.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.12.20-8+deb7u4.
We recommend that you upgrade your gnutls26 packages.
