<background>
<p>GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS 1.2 and SSL 3.0
protocols.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GnuTLS:</p>
<ul>
<li>An error in libgnutls does not properly sanitize "\0" characters from
certificate fields (CVE-2009-2730).
</li>
<li>An error in the TLS and SSL protocols mistreats renegotiation
handshakes (CVE-2009-3555).
</li>
<li>A boundary error in the "gnutls_session_get_data()" function in
gnutls_session.c could cause a buffer overflow (CVE-2011-4128).
</li>
<li>An error in the "_gnutls_ciphertext2compressed()" function in
gnutls_cipher.c could cause memory corruption (CVE-2012-1573).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could perform man-in-the-middle attacks to spoof
arbitrary SSL servers or cause a Denial of Service condition in
applications linked against GnuTLS.
</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-2.12.18"
</code>
</resolution>
