Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which systems are most relevant to assess for exposure?

Assess systems with the listed GnuTLS runtime, development, command-line, or debugging packages installed, especially those using RSA-PSK key exchange. The issue is a timing side channel in that specific key-exchange mechanism.

2

What configuration condition is identified for exploitation?

The advisory identifies RSA-PSK key exchange as the affected condition. It does not state whether RSA-PSK is enabled or used by default.

3

How can I determine whether a system needs the update?

Check whether any of the listed GnuTLS packages are installed and whether affected services use RSA-PSK key exchange. The provided information does not include fixed package versions, so use the SUSE update advisory to identify the applicable update for the installed distribution.
