Hubert Kario discovered that GnuTLS, a library implementing the TLS and
SSL protocols, does not properly decode a status response TLS extension,
allowing a remote attacker to cause an application using the GnuTLS
library to crash (denial of service).

version 3.3.8-6+deb8u6.

For the upcoming stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been
fixed in version 3.5.8-5+deb9u1.
