Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnutls' package(s) announced via the SSA:2013-242-03 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 14.0 and -current to fix a
security issue.

Sorry about having to reissue this one -- I pulled it from ftp.gnu.org not
realizing that the latest version there was actually months out of date.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/gnutls-3.0.31-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded.
[Updated to the correct version to fix fetching the 'latest' from gnu.org]
This update prevents a side-channel attack which may allow remote attackers
to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext recovery attacks using
statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets.
