Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities might allow for the execution of arbitrary
code in daemons using GnuTLS.
Background
==========
GnuTLS is an implementation of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 and
Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-libs/gnutls < 2.2.5 >= 2.2.5
Description
===========
Ossi Herrala and Jukka Taimisto of Codenomicon reported three
vulnerabilities in libgnutls of GnuTLS:
* "Client Hello" messages containing an invalid server name can lead
to a buffer overflow when evaluating "Security Parameters"
(CVE-2008-1948).
* Multiple "Client Hello" messages can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference (CVE-2008-1949).
* A TLS handshake including an encrypted "Client Hello" message and
an invalid record length could lead to a buffer overread
(CVE-2008-1950).
Impact
======
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.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All GnuTLS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/gnutls-2.2.5"
