Package: libgnutls13
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
When using
swaks --to mh@<hostname> --tls --server <servername>
with <servername> being a Debian sid box running exim4, this drops the
server's entropy pool from from 3585 to 149 (or similar numbers, or
course). This is way too much entropy usage. Please consider being a
little less wasteful on resources.
Greetings
Marc

GnuTLS has switched to nettle as crypto backend, which afaict has
improved things. I am therefore closing the report.
