Debian DLA-180-1 : gnutls26 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 82166

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GnuTLS, a library implementing the TLS and SSL protocols. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

CVE-2014-8155

Missing date/time checks on CA certificates

CVE-2015-0282

GnuTLS does not verify the RSA PKCS #1 signature algorithm to match the signature algorithm in the certificate, leading to a potential downgrade to a disallowed algorithm without detecting it.

CVE-2015-0294

GnuTLS does not check whether the two signature algorithms match on certificate import.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
