What is CVE-2023-0361?

CVE-2023-0361 is a high-severity vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 15 Feb 2023. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

A timing side-channel in the handling of RSA ClientKeyExchange messages was discovered in GnuTLS. This side-channel can be sufficient to recover the key encrypted in the RSA ciphertext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption the attacker would need to send a large amount of specially crafted messages to the vulnerable server. By recovering the secret from the ClientKeyExchange message, the attacker would be able to decrypt the application data exchanged over that connection.

Weakness: CWE-203
