Description Adam Mariš 2018-05-25 15:39:00 UTC 
A cache-based side channel in GnuTLS implementation that leads to plaintext recovery in cross-VM attack setting was found. The attack exploits a novel "Just in Time" PRIME + PROBE attack in combination with a new variant of the original Lucky 13 attack.
