Description

The gnutls packages provide the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library, which implements cryptographic algorithms and protocols such as SSL, TLS, and DTLS.

Security Fix(es):

  • libtasn1: Inefficient DER Decoding in libtasn1 Leading to Potential Remote DoS (CVE-2024-12133)

  • gnutls: GnuTLS: Denial of Service via excessive resource consumption during certificate verification (CVE-2025-14831)

  • gnutls: GnuTLS: Policy bypass due to case-sensitive nameConstraints comparison (CVE-2026-3833)

  • gnutls: GnuTLS: Denial of Service via DTLS zero-length fragment (CVE-2026-33845)

  • gnutls: GnuTLS: Denial of Service via heap buffer overflow in DTLS handshake fragment reassembly (CVE-2026-33846)

  • gnutls: Fix qsort comparator in DTLS reassembly (CVE-2026-42009)

  • gnutls: gnutls: Authentication Bypass via NUL Character in Username (CVE-2026-42010)

  • gnutls: gnutls: Security bypass due to incorrect name constraint handling (CVE-2026-42011)

  • gnutls: gnutls: Certificate validation bypass due to improper handling of URI and SRV SANs (CVE-2026-42012)

  • gnutls: gnutls: Certificate validation bypass due to oversized Subject Alternative Name (CVE-2026-42013)

  • gnutls: gnutls: Information disclosure via heap overread in RSA key exchange (CVE-2026-5260)

  • gnutls: Fix use-after-free in gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin (CVE-2026-42014)
