tag_impact = "CVE-2008-1948
    The _gnutls_server_name_recv_params function in lib/ext_server_name.c
    in libgnutls in gnutls-serv in GnuTLS before 2.2.4 does not properly
    calculate the number of Server Names in a TLS 1.0 Client Hello
    message during extension handling, which allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
    code via a zero value for the length of Server Names, which leads
    to a buffer overflow in session resumption data in the
    pack_security_parameters function, aka GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-1.

  CVE-2008-1949
    The _gnutls_recv_client_kx_message function in lib/gnutls_kx.c
    in libgnutls in gnutls-serv in GnuTLS before 2.2.4 continues to
    process Client Hello messages within a TLS message after one has
    already been processed, which allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (NULL dereference and crash) via a TLS message
    containing multiple Client Hello messages, aka GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-2.

  CVE 2008-1950
    Integer signedness error in the _gnutls_ciphertext2compressed
    function in lib/gnutls_cipher.c in libgnutls in GnuTLS before 2.2.4
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read
    and crash) via a certain integer value in the Random field in an
    encrypted Client Hello message within a TLS record with an invalid
    Record Length, which leads to an invalid cipher padding length,
    aka GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3.";
