Synopsis
=======
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GnuTLS, the worst of
which could lead to Denial of Service.

Background
=========
GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS 1.2 and SSL 3.0
protocols.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-libs/gnutls            < 2.12.23-r1            >= 2.12.23-r1

Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GnuTLS. Please review
the CVE identifiers and Lucky Thirteen research paper referenced below
for details.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker could sent a specially crafted packet to cause a
Denial of Service condition. Additionally, a remote attacker could
perform man-in-the-middle attacks to recover plaintext data.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All GnuTLS users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/gnutls-2.12.23-r1"
