Debian Security Advisory DSA-2866-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso
February 22, 2014 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : gnutls26
Vulnerability : certificate verification flaw
CVE ID : CVE-2014-1959
Suman Jana reported that GnuTLS, deviating from the documented behavior,
considers a version 1 intermediate certificate as a CA certificate by
default.
The oldstable distribution (squeeze) is not affected by this problem as
X.509 version 1 trusted CA certificates are not allowed by default.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.12.20-8.
For the testing distribution (jessie) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.12.23-12.
We recommend that you upgrade your gnutls26 packages.
