Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : gnutls (MDVSA-2008:106)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 37379

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Flaws discovered in versions prior to 2.2.4 (stable) and 2.3.10 (development) of GnuTLS allow an attacker to cause denial of service (application crash), and maybe (so far undetermined) execute arbitrary code.

The updated packages have been patched to fix these flaws.

Note that any applications using this library must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
