<p>
GnuTLS is a free TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 implementation for the GNU
project.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
A vulnerability has been discovered in the record packet parsing
in the GnuTLS library. Additionally, a flaw was also found in the RSA
key export functionality.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability and cause a
Denial of Service to any application that utilizes the GnuTLS library.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All GnuTLS users should remove the existing installation and
upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --unmerge gnutls
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-libs/gnutls</code>
<p>
Due to small API changes with the previous version, please do
the following to ensure your applications are using the latest GnuTLS
that you just emerged.
</p>
<code>
# revdep-rebuild --soname-regexp libgnutls.so.1[0-1]</code>
<p>
Previously exported RSA keys can be fixed by executing the
following command on the key files:
</p>
<code>
# certtool -k infile outfile</code>
