AXSA:2008-480:02 advisory.
Description :
GnuTLS is a project that aims to develop a library which provides a secure
layer, over a reliable transport layer. Currently the GnuTLS library implements
the proposed standards by the IETF's TLS (Transport Layer Security) working
group.
CVE-2008-4989
The _gnutls_x509_verify_certificate function in lib/x509/verify.c in libgnutls
in GnuTLS before 2.6.1 trusts certificate chains in which the last certificate
is an arbitrary trusted, self-signed certificate, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to insert a spoofed certificate for any
Distinguished Name (DN).
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
