    Martin von Gagern reported that the _gnutls_x509_verify_certificate()
    function in lib/x509/verify.c trusts certificate chains in which the
    last certificate is an arbitrary trusted, self-signed certificate.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability and spoof arbitrary
    names to conduct Man-In-The-Middle attacks and intercept sensitive
    information.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
