Description

libgnutls in GnuTLS before 2.8.2 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the subject's (1) Common Name (CN) or (2) Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.

Solution(s)

  • oracle-linux-upgrade-gnutls
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-gnutls-devel
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-gnutls-utils
