Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnutls28 package and not the gnutls28 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was found that the GnuTLS implementation of HMAC-SHA-256 was vulnerable to a Lucky thirteen style attack. Remote attackers could use this flaw to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data using crafted packets.
