Description Funda Wang 2011-12-12 04:47:55 CET
A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in gnutls:

* The gnutls_session_get_data function in the GnuTLS library before
  3.0.6 or before 2.12.13 on the 2.12.x branch could overflow a
  too-short buffer parameter allocated by the caller. The test to avoid
  the buffer overflow was not working correctly (CVE-2011-4128).

The updated package has been patched to fix this issue, plus some other small fixes from upstream.

Testing complete on i586 for the srpm
gnutls-2.10.5-2.1.mga1.src.rpm

No POC for the vulnerability, so just confirming
aria2c https://www.google.com/
works.
