Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: gnutls security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2006:0680-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0680.html
Issue date: 2006-09-14
Updated on: 2006-09-14
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2006-4790
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated gnutls packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Problem description:
The GnuTLS Library provides support for cryptographic algorithms and
protocols such as TLS. GnuTLS includes libtasn1, a library developed for
ASN.1 structures management that includes DER encoding and decoding.
Daniel Bleichenbacher recently described an attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
signatures. Where an RSA key with exponent 3 is used it may be possible for
an attacker to forge a PKCS #1 v1.5 signature that would be incorrectly
verified by implementations that do not check for excess data in the RSA
exponentiation result of the signature.
The core GnuTLS team discovered that GnuTLS is vulnerable to a variant of
the Bleichenbacker attack. This issue affects applications that use GnuTLS
to verify X.509 certificates as well as other uses of PKCS #1 v1.5.
(CVE-2006-4790)
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, the GnuTLS library is only used by the
Evolution client when connecting to an Exchange server or when publishing
calendar information to a WebDAV server.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch from the GnuTLS maintainers to correct this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
