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

    <p>
    GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
    protocols.

  <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 "&gt;=net-libs/gnutls-2.6.6"</code>
  </resolution>
