+ <title>GnuTLS: Denial of Service vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The GnuTLS library is vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks.

+ <background>
+ <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>
