    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1719-2 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer February 28, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : gnutls13, gnutls26
    Vulnerability : design flaw
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-4989
    Debian Bug : 505360

    Changes in DSA-1719-1 caused GNUTLS to reject X.509v1 certificates as
    CA root certificates by default, as originally described in the
    documentation. However, it turned out that there is still significant
    use of historic X.509v1 CA root certificates, so this constitutes an unacceptable regression. This update reverses this part of the
    changes in DSA-1719-1. Note that the X.509v1 certificate format does
    not distinguish between server and CA certificates, which means that
    an X.509v1 server certificates is implicitly converted into a CA
    certificate when added to the trust store (which was the reason for
    the change in DSA-1719-1).

    The current stable distribution (lenny) was released with the changes
    in DSA-1719-1 already applied, and this update reverses the changes
    concerning X.509v1 CA certificates for this distribution, too.

    For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.4.4-3+etch4.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.4.2-6+lenny1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your GNUTLS packages.
