Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2.

<description>
<p>
Ossi Herrala and Jukka Taimisto of Codenomicon reported three
vulnerabilities in libgnutls of GnuTLS:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
"Client Hello" messages containing an invalid server name can lead to a
buffer overflow when evaluating "Security Parameters" (CVE-2008-1948).
</li>
<li>
Multiple "Client Hello" messages can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
(CVE-2008-1949).
</li>
<li>
A TLS handshake including an encrypted "Client Hello" message and an
invalid record length could lead to a buffer overread (CVE-2008-1950).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
Unauthenticated remote attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to
cause Denial of Service conditions in daemons using GnuTLS. The first
vulnerability (CVE-2008-1948) might allow for the execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the daemon handling incoming TLS
connections.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All GnuTLS users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-libs/gnutls-2.2.5&quot;</code>
</resolution>
