GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS 1.2 and SSL 3.0 protocols.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GnuTLS. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
An attacker could perform man-in-the-middle attacks to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority or to inject an arbitrary amount of chosen plaintext into the beginning of the application protocol stream, allowing for further exploitation.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All GnuTLS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/gnutls-2.10.0"
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since August 6, 2010. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
