Discussion

GnuTLS Prior to 2.2.5 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities

GnuTLS is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities, including:

- A buffer-overflow vulnerability
- Multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities

An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application or crash the application, denying service to legitimate users.

Versions prior to GnuTLS 2.2.5 are vulnerable.
