Summary
Please update the gnutls packages to provide the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library, which implements cryptographic algorithms and protocols such as SSL, TLS, and DTLS.
Security Fix(es):
* gnutls: Add more checks to DTLS reassembly (CVE-2026-33846)
* gnutls: Fix qsort comparator in DTLS reassembly (CVE-2026-42009)
* gnutls: Fix crashing on an underflow with a DTLS datagram (CVE-2026-33845)
* gnutls: Fix RSA-PSK identity truncation (CVE-2026-42010)
* gnutls: Fix case-sensitivity of domain name comparison in name constraints (CVE-2026-3833)
* gnutls: Fix intersecting empty constraints (CVE-2026-42011)

Vulnerabilities 11

High 8.2
Gnutls: gnutls: certificate validation bypass due to oversized subject alternative name
A flaw was found in gnutls. When validating certificates, an oversized Subject Alternative Name (SAN) could cause the validation process to incorrectly fall back to checking the Common Name (CN) field. This could allow a remote attacker to bypass proper certi…

High 8.2
Gnutls: gnutls: information disclosure via heap overread in rsa key exchange
A flaw was found in libgnutls. A remote attacker, by sending an extremely short premaster secret during an RSA key exchange to a server using an RSA key backed by a PKCS#11 token, could trigger a short heap overread. This memory corruption vulnerability could…

High 7.5
Gnutls: gnutls: denial of service via dtls zero-length fragment
A flaw in GnuTLS DTLS handshake parsing allows malformed fragments with zero length and non-zero offset, leading to an integer underflow during reassembly and resulting in an out-of-bounds read. This issue is remotely exploitable and may cause information dis…

High 7.5
Gnutls: gnutls: denial of service via heap buffer overflow in dtls handshake fragment reassembly
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the DTLS handshake fragment reassembly logic of GnuTLS. The issue arises in merge_handshake_packet() where incoming handshake fragments are matched and merged based solely on handshake type, without validating th…

High 7.5
Gnutls: gnutls: denial of service via dtls packet reordering vulnerability
A flaw was found in gnutls. A remote attacker could exploit an issue in the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) packet reordering logic. The comparator function, responsible for ordering DTLS packets by sequence numbers, did not correctly handle packets …
-
High 7.4
Gnutls: gnutls: security bypass due to incorrect name constraint handling
A flaw was found in gnutls. This vulnerability occurs because permitted name constraints were incorrectly ignored when previous Certificate Authorities (CAs) only had excluded name constraints. A remote attacker could exploit this to bypass critical name cons…
-
High 7.1
Gnutls: gnutls: authentication bypass via nul character in username
A flaw was found in gnutls. Servers configured with RSA-PSK (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman – Pre-Shared Key) wrongfully matched usernames containing a NUL character with truncated usernames. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted username…
-
High 7.1
Gnutls: gnutls: certificate validation bypass due to improper handling of uri and srv sans
A flaw was found in gnutls. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by presenting a specially crafted certificate that contains Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) or Service (SRV) Subject Alternative Names (SANs). This could cause the certificate va…

Medium 6.6
Gnutls: gnutls: use-after-free in gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin
A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The `gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin` function, used for changing the Security Officer PIN, can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs when an attacker attempts to change the PIN with a NULL old PIN for a token that lacks …
-
Medium 6.5
Gnutls: gnutls: policy bypass due to case-sensitive nameconstraints comparison
A flaw was found in gnutls. This vulnerability occurs because gnutls performs case-sensitive comparisons of `nameConstraints` labels, specifically for `dNSName` (DNS) or `rfc822Name` (email) constraints within `excludedSubtrees` or `permittedSubtrees`. A remo…
-
Medium 5.3
Gnutls: gnutls: memory corruption due to off-by-one error in pkcs#12 bag handling
A flaw was found in gnutls. An off-by-one error exists in the PKCS#12 bag element bounds check. This vulnerability allows an remote attacker to write past the internal array of a PKCS#12 bag when appending to a bag that already contains 32 elements. This memo…
