Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.120285
Category:Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2015-575)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnutls' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2015-575 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnutls' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2015-575 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was found that GnuTLS did not check activation and expiration dates of CA certificates. This could cause an application using GnuTLS to incorrectly accept a certificate as valid when its issuing CA is already expired. (CVE-2014-8155)

It was found that GnuTLS did not verify whether a hashing algorithm listed in a signature matched the hashing algorithm listed in the certificate. An attacker could create a certificate that used a different hashing algorithm than it claimed, possibly causing GnuTLS to use an insecure, disallowed hashing algorithm during certificate verification. (CVE-2015-0282)

It was discovered that GnuTLS did not check if all sections of X.509 certificates indicate the same signature algorithm. This flaw, in combination with a different flaw, could possibly lead to a bypass of the certificate signature check. (CVE-2015-0294)

Affected Software/OS:
'gnutls' package(s) on Amazon Linux.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
