It was found that GnuTLS did not check activation and expiration dates of CA certificates. This could cause an application using GnuTLS to incorrectly accept a certificate as valid when its issuing CA is already expired. (CVE-2014-8155)

It was found that GnuTLS did not verify whether a hashing algorithm listed in a signature matched the hashing algorithm listed in the certificate. An attacker could create a certificate that used a different hashing algorithm than it claimed, possibly causing GnuTLS to use an insecure, disallowed hashing algorithm during certificate verification. (CVE-2015-0282)

It was discovered that GnuTLS did not check if all sections of X.509 certificates indicate the same signature algorithm. This flaw, in combination with a different flaw, could possibly lead to a bypass of the certificate signature check. (CVE-2015-0294)

The CVE-2014-8155 issue was discovered by Marcel Kolaja of Red Hat.
The CVE-2015-0282 and CVE-2015-0294 issues were discovered by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos of the Red Hat Security Technologies Team.

This update also fixes the following bug :

  • Previously, under certain circumstances, the certtool utility could generate X.509 certificates which contained a negative modulus. Consequently, such certificates could have interoperation problems with the software using them. The bug has been fixed, and certtool no longer generates X.509 certificates containing a negative modulus.
