Gnutls: gnutls: denial of service via excessive resource consumption during certificate verification
A flaw was found in GnuTLS. This vulnerability allows a denial of service (DoS) by excessive CPU (Central Processing Unit) and memory consumption via specially crafted malicious certificates containing a large number of name constraints and subject alternativ…

Gnutls: stack-based buffer overflow in gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() function
A flaw was found in the GnuTLS library, specifically in the gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() function that handles PKCS#11 token initialization. When a token label longer than expected is processed, the function writes past the end of a fixed-size stack buffer. Thi…
