Title:	CentOS Update for gnutls CESA-2009:1232 centos5 i386
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnutls'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'gnutls' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The GnuTLS library provides support for cryptographic algorithms and for protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS). A flaw was discovered in the way GnuTLS handles NULL characters in certain fields of X.509 certificates. If an attacker is able to get a carefully-crafted certificate signed by a Certificate Authority trusted by an application using GnuTLS, the attacker could use the certificate during a man-in-the-middle attack and potentially confuse the application into accepting it by mistake. (CVE-2009-2730) Users of GnuTLS are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch that corrects this issue. Affected Software/OS: gnutls on CentOS 5 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
