Secunia Research has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in GnuTLS libtasn1, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Two errors in the ‘asn1_find_node()’ function (lib/parser_aux.c) can be exploited to cause a stacked-based buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code but requires tricking a user into processing a specially crafted assignments file by e.g. asn1Coding utility.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this problem has been fixed in version 2.13-2+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libtasn1-3 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
