Description

BREAKING CHANGE: iperf3's authentication features, when used with OpenSSL prior to 3.2.0, contain a vulnerability to a side-channel timing attack. To address this flaw, a change has been made to the padding applied to encrypted strings. This change is not backwards compatible with older versions of iperf3 (before 3.17). To restore the older (vulnerable) behavior, and hence backwards-compatibility, use the --use-pkcs1-padding flag. The iperf3 team thanks Hubert Kario from RedHat for reporting this issue and providing feedback on the fix. (CVE-2024-26306)(PR#1695)
