Slackware 12.0 / 12.1 / current : gnutls (SSA:2008-320-01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 34782

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and
-current to correctly fix the certificate chain verification issue that the upgrade to gnutls-2.6.1 attempted to fix. Without this upgrade, processing a certificate chain containing only one self-signed certificate may cause GnuTLS linked programs to crash.

Solution

Update the affected gnutls package.
