CVE-2017-7507

GnuTLS version 3.5.12 and earlier is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference while decoding a status response TLS extension with valid contents. This could lead to a crash of the GnuTLS server application.

GnuTLS before 2017-02-20 has an out-of-bounds write caused by an integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow related to the cdk_pkt_read function in opencdk/read-packet.c. This issue (which is a subset of the vendor's GNUTLS-SA-2017-3 report) is fixed in 3.5.10. (CVE-2017-7869)

This update for gnutls fixes the following issues:

• GNUTLS-SA-2017-4 / CVE-2017-7507: Fix crash in status response TLS extension decoding (bsc#1043398)
• GNUTLS-SA-2017-3 / CVE-2017-7869: Fix out-of-bounds write in OpenPGP certificate decoding (bsc#1034173)
• Address read of 4 bytes past the end of buffer in OpenPGP certificate parsing (bsc#1038337)

Hubert Kario discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled decoding a status response TLS extension. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 17.04. (CVE-2017-7507)

It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled decoding certain OpenPGP certificates. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7869)
