  <background>
    <p>GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS 1.2 and SSL 3.0
      protocols.

  <description>
    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GnuTLS:</p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>An error in libgnutls does not properly sanitize "\0" characters from
        certificate fields (CVE-2009-2730).
      </li>
      <li>An error in the TLS and SSL protocols mistreats renegotiation
        handshakes (CVE-2009-3555).
      </li>
      <li>A boundary error in the "gnutls_session_get_data()" function in
        gnutls_session.c could cause a buffer overflow (CVE-2011-4128).
      </li>
      <li>An error in the "_gnutls_ciphertext2compressed()" function in
        gnutls_cipher.c could cause memory corruption (CVE-2012-1573).
      </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could perform man-in-the-middle attacks to spoof
      arbitrary SSL servers or cause a Denial of Service condition in
      applications linked against GnuTLS.
    </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 "&gt;=net-libs/gnutls-2.12.18"
    </code>
