Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0288-01 - The GnuTLS library provides support for cryptographic algorithms and for protocols such as Transport Layer Security. It was discovered that GnuTLS did not correctly handle certain errors that could occur during the verification of an X.509 certificate, causing it to incorrectly report a successful verification. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted certificate that could be accepted by GnuTLS as valid for a site chosen by the attacker. This issue was discovered by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos of the Red Hat Security Technologies Team.
