<access>remote</access>
<affected>
<package name="net-libs/gnutls" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">2.4.1-r2</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="lt">2.4.1-r2</vulnerable>

<background>
<p>
GnuTLS is an open-source implementation of TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Martin von Gagern reported that the _gnutls_x509_verify_certificate()
function in lib/x509/verify.c trusts certificate chains in which the
last certificate is an arbitrary trusted, self-signed certificate.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability and spoof arbitrary
names to conduct Man-In-The-Middle attacks and intercept sensitive
information.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All GnuTLS users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/gnutls-2.4.1-r2"</code>
</resolution>
