Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:308 (gnutls)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to gnutls;announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:308.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to gnutls
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:308.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in gnutls:

gnutls-cli in GnuTLS before 2.6.6 does not verify the activation
and expiration times of X.509 certificates, which allows remote
attackers to successfully present a certificate that is (1) not yet
valid or (2) no longer valid, related to lack of time checks in the
_gnutls_x509_verify_certificate function in lib/x509/verify.c in
libgnutls_x509, as used by (a) Exim, (b) OpenLDAP, and (c) libsoup
(CVE-2009-1417).

A vulnerability have been discovered and corrected in GnuTLS
before 2.8.2, which could allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof
arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate
Certification Authority (CVE-2009-2730).

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.

This update fixes this vulnerability.

Affected: 2008.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
