Title:RHSA-2022:6854: gnutls and nettle security, bug fix, and enhancement update (Moderate)
Description:The gnutls packages provide the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library, which implements cryptographic algorithms and protocols such as SSL, TLS, and DTLS.

Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in almost any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages, such as C++, Python, or Pike, in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: gnutls (3.7.6), nettle (3.8).

Security Fix(es):

  • gnutls: Double free during gnutls_pkcs7_verify. (CVE-2022-2509)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    Bug Fix(es):

  • [IBM 9.1] [P10] POWER10 performance enhancements for cryptography: nettle - incremental work (BZ#2102589)

  • Allow enabling KTLS in RHEL 9.1 (BZ#2108532)

  • DES-CBC bag is decryptable under FIPS (BZ#2115314)

  • allow signature verification using RSA keys <2k in FIPS mode (BZ#2119770)
