    Package : libtasn1-3
    Vulnerability : missing bounds check
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-1569

    Matthew Hall discovered that many callers of the asn1_get_length_der
    function did not check the result against the overall buffer length
    before processing it further. This could result in out-of-bounds
    memory accesses and application crashes. Applications using GNUTLS
    are exposed to this issue.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.7-1+squeeze+1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.12-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libtasn1-3 packages.
