The gnutls packages provide the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library, which implements cryptographic algorithms and protocols such as SSL, TLS, and DTLS.

Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in almost any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages, such as C++, Python, or Pike, in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: gnutls (3.7.6), nettle (3.8).

Security Fix(es):

  • gnutls: Double free during gnutls_pkcs7_verify. (CVE-2022-2509)
