Hello,

We have just released gnutls-3.8.2. This is a bug fix and enhancement 
release on the 3.8.x branch.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed in this release:
Samuel Thibault, Adrian Bunk, Sam James, Miroslav Lichvar, Dimitri 
Papadopoulos Orfanos, Yongye Zhu, xuraoqing, Clemens Lang, Frediano 
Ziglio, Ajit Singh, Daiki Ueno and Zoltan Fridrich


The detailed list of changes follows:

* Version 3.8.2 (released 2023-11-14)

** libgnutls: Fix timing side-channel inside RSA-PSK key exchange. 
[GNUTLS-SA-2023-10-23, CVSS: medium] [CVE-2023-5981]

** libgnutls: Add API functions to perform ECDH and DH key agreement. 
The functionality has been there for a long time though they were not 
available as part of the public API. This enables applications to 
implement custom protocols leveraging non-interactive key agreement with 
ECDH and DH.

** libgnutls: Added support for AES-GCM-SIV ciphers (RFC 8452). The new 
algorithms GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_128_SIV_GCM and 
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_256_SIV_GCM have been added to be used through the 
AEAD interface. Note that, unlike GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_{128,256}_SIV_GCM, 
the authentication tag is appended to the ciphertext, not prepended.

** libgnutls: transparent KTLS support is extended to FreeBSD kernel. 
The kernel TLS feature can now be enabled on FreeBSD as well as Linux 
when compiled with the --enable-ktls configure option.

** gnutls-cli: New option --starttls-name Depending on deployment, 
application protocols such as XMPP may require a different origin 
address than the external address to be presented prior to STARTTLS 
negotiation. The --starttls-name can be used to specify the addresses 
separately.

** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_pubkey_import_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_privkey_import_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_pubkey_export_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_privkey_export_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_x509_privkey_import_dh_raw: New function
gnutls_privkey_derive_secret: New function
GNUTLS_KEYGEN_DH: New enum member of gnutls_keygen_types_t
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_128_SIV_GCM: Added
GNUTLS_CIPHER_AES_256_SIV_GCM: Added
