Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0429-01
Posted Mar 28, 2012
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0429-01 - The GnuTLS library provides support for cryptographic algorithms and for protocols such as Transport Layer Security. A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS decrypted malformed TLS records. This could cause a TLS/SSL client or server to crash when processing a specially-crafted TLS record from a remote TLS/SSL connection peer. A boundary error was found in the gnutls_session_get_data() function. A malicious TLS/SSL server could use this flaw to crash a TLS/SSL client or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the client, if the client passed a fixed-sized buffer to gnutls_session_get_data() before checking the real size of the session data provided by the server.

3. Description:

The GnuTLS library provides support for cryptographic algorithms and for
protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS).

A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS decrypted malformed TLS records. This
could cause a TLS/SSL client or server to crash when processing a
specially-crafted TLS record from a remote TLS/SSL connection peer.
(CVE-2012-1573)

A boundary error was found in the gnutls_session_get_data() function. A
malicious TLS/SSL server could use this flaw to crash a TLS/SSL client or,
possibly, execute arbitrary code as the client, if the client passed a
fixed-sized buffer to gnutls_session_get_data() before checking the real
size of the session data provided by the server. (CVE-2011-4128)

Red Hat would like to thank Matthew Hall of Mu Dynamics for reporting
CVE-2012-1573.

Users of GnuTLS are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues. For the update to take
effect, all applications linked to the GnuTLS library must be restarted, or
the system rebooted.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

752308 - CVE-2011-4128 gnutls: buffer overflow in gnutls_session_get_data() (GNUTLS-SA-2011-2)
