<title>GnuTLS: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
<synopsis>
Multiple vulnerabilities in GnuTLS might result in a Denial of Service,
spoofing or the generation of invalid keys.

<affected>

<background>
<p>
GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
protocols.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The following vulnerabilities were found in GnuTLS:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Miroslav Kratochvil reported that lib/pk-libgcrypt.c does not
properly handle corrupt DSA signatures, possibly leading to a
double-free vulnerability (CVE-2009-1415).</li>
<li>Simon Josefsson
reported that GnuTLS generates RSA keys stored in DSA structures when
creating a DSA key (CVE-2009-1416).</li>
<li>Romain Francoise reported
that the _gnutls_x509_verify_certificate() function in
lib/x509/verify.c does not perform time checks, resulting in the
"gnutls-cli" program accepting X.509 certificates with validity times
in the past or future (CVE-2009-1417).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to process a
specially crafted DSA certificate, possibly resulting in a Denial of
Service condition. NOTE: This issue might have other unspecified impact
including the execution of arbitrary code. Furthermore, a remote
attacker could spoof signatures on certificates and the "gnutls-cli"
application can be tricked into accepting an invalid certificate.
</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-2.6.6&quot;</code>
</resolution>
