Summary
Impact assessment
gnutls is an OS-level Alpine package. Our Java services use the JVM's JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extension) for all TLS — gnutls is never called. No references to gnutls found anywhere in this repo's source, config, or dependencies. The attack requires a DTLS handshake, which our TCP/HTTPS services never perform.
