Multiple vulnerabilities in GnuTLS might result in a Denial of Service,
spoofing or the generation of invalid keys.

GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
protocols.
The following vulnerabilities were found in GnuTLS:
- Miroslav Kratochvil reported that lib/pk-libgcrypt.c does not
properly handle corrupt DSA signatures, possibly leading to a
double-free vulnerability (CVE-2009-1415).
- Simon Josefsson
reported that GnuTLS generates RSA keys stored in DSA structures when
creating a DSA key (CVE-2009-1416).
- Romain Francoise reported
that the _gnutls_x509_verify_certificate() function in
lib/x509/verify.c does not perform time checks, resulting in the
"gnutls-cli" program accepting X.509 certificates with validity times
in the past or future (CVE-2009-1417).
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to process a
specially crafted DSA certificate, possibly resulting in a Denial of
Service condition. NOTE: This issue might have other unspecified impact
including the execution of arbitrary code. Furthermore, a remote
attacker could spoof signatures on certificates and the "gnutls-cli"
application can be tricked into accepting an invalid certificate.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All GnuTLS users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/gnutls-2.6.6"
