Oracle Linux: CVE-2024-26306: ELSA-2024-4241: iperf3 security update (MODERATE) (Multiple Advisories)

iPerf3 before 3.17, when used with OpenSSL before 3.2.0 as a server with RSA authentication, allows a timing side channel in RSA decryption operations. This side channel could be sufficient for an attacker to recover credential plaintext. It requires the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption, as described in "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack" by Hubert Kario.
A timing-based side-channel flaw was found in iperf3. If the iperf3 server is running with the --rsa-private-key-path option, the user authentication API can be attacked.
