Synopsis: Important: gnutls security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0595-1
Issue Date: 2014-06-03
CVE Numbers: CVE-2014-3466
--

A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS parsed session IDs from ServerHello
messages of the TLS/SSL handshake. A malicious server could use this flaw
to send an excessively long session ID value, which would trigger a buffer
overflow in a connecting TLS/SSL client application using GnuTLS, causing
the client application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2014-3466)

For the update to take effect, all applications linked to the GnuTLS
library must be restarted.
