Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GnuTLS, the worst of
which could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========

GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS 1.2 and SSL 3.0
protocols.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-libs/gnutls            < 2.12.23-r6            >= 2.12.23-r6 

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GnuTLS. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could utilize multiple vectors to spoof arbitrary SSL
servers via a crafted certificate, execute arbitrary code or cause a
Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All GnuTLS users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/gnutls-2.12.23-r6"
