Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GnuTLS versions prior to 2.12.23

Description The issue is related to multiple vulnerabilities in the GnuTLS package, which can be exploited remotely to cause a denial of service, leading to disruption of protected information availability. Specifically, the gnutls ciphertext2compressed function in lib/gnutls cipher.c in GnuTLS 2.12.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted padding length.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.12.23, update to version 2.12.23 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the gnutls ciphertext2compressed function until a patch is available.
