Subject: GnuTLS security update
Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2016 11:41:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160911154108.GA13920@jasmine> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 931 bytes --]

There is a GnuTLS security advisory [0] regarding "an issue that affects
validation of certificates using OCSP responses, which can falsely
report a certificate as valid under certain circumstances."

I updated GnuTLS on core-updates to 3.5.4, the latest release of the 3.5
series.

For master, the naive approach of cherry-picking the patch [1] did not
work; the test 'system-prio-file' fails consistently with that change. I
could instead try grafting the updated version.

What do you think? The authors seem to think it's a relatively minor
issue [2], since exploiting it requires an attacker to compromise the
certificate authority.
