- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3070-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Emilio Pozuelo Monfort August 11, 2022 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : gnutls28 Version : 3.6.7-4+deb10u9 CVE ID : CVE-2021-4209 CVE-2022-2509

Two issues were found in GnuTLS, a library implementing the TLS and SSL protocols. A remote attacker could take advantage of these flaws to cause an application using the GnuTLS library to crash (denial of service), or potentially, to execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 3.6.7-4+deb10u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnutls28 packages.

For the detailed security status of gnutls28 please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/gnutls28

Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the gnutls-bin packages.
