Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0594-01 - The GnuTLS library provides support for cryptographic algorithms and for protocols such as Transport Layer Security. The gnutls packages also include the libtasn1 library, which provides Abstract Syntax Notation One parsing and structures management, and Distinguished Encoding Rules encoding and decoding functions. A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS parsed session IDs from ServerHello messages of the TLS/SSL handshake. A malicious server could use this flaw to send an excessively long session ID value, which would trigger a buffer overflow in a connecting TLS/SSL client application using GnuTLS, causing the client application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
