Package name gnutls Date September 19th, 2006 Advisory ID MDKSA-2006:166 Affected versions 2006.0, CS4.0

Problem Description

verify.c in GnuTLS before 1.4.4, when using an RSA key with exponent 3,
does not properly handle excess data in the digestAlgorithm.parameters
field when generating a hash, which allows remote attackers to forge a
PKCS #1 v1.5 signature that is signed by that RSA key and prevents
GnuTLS from correctly verifying X.509 and other certificates that use
PKCS, a variant of CVE-2006-4339.

The provided packages have been patched to correct this issues.
