Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-108 - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in GnuTLS's gnutls_x509_dn_oid_name(). The function, when called with the GNUTLS_X509_DN_OID_RETURN_OID flag, should not return NULL to its caller. However, it could previously return NULL when parsed X.509 certificates included specific OIDs. A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS parsed session ids from Server Hello packets of the TLS/SSL handshake. A malicious server could use this flaw to send an excessively long session id value and trigger a buffer overflow in a connecting TLS/SSL client using GnuTLS, causing it to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

Package : gnutls
Date : June 9, 2014
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated gnutls packages fix security vulnerabilities:
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in GnuTLS's
gnutls_x509_dn_oid_name(). The function, when called with the
GNUTLS_X509_DN_OID_RETURN_OID flag, should not return NULL to its
caller. However, it could previously return NULL when parsed X.509
certificates included specific OIDs (CVE-2014-3465).
A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS parsed session ids from Server
Hello packets of the TLS/SSL handshake. A malicious server could use
this flaw to send an excessively long session id value and trigger a
buffer overflow in a connecting TLS/SSL client using GnuTLS, causing
it to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-3466).
