Doc Text:
A flaw was found in gnutls. This vulnerability occurs because gnutls performs case-sensitive comparisons of `nameConstraints` labels, specifically for `dNSName` (DNS) or `rfc822Name` (email) constraints within `excludedSubtrees` or `permittedSubtrees`. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a leaf certificate with casing differences in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN), leading to a policy bypass where a certificate that should be rejected is instead accepted. This could result in unauthorized access or information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-09 14:03:06 UTC
gnutls compares nameConstraints labels using a case-sensitive memcmp path without an ascii-casefold canonicalization step. when excludedSubtrees/permittedSubtrees dNSName (dns) or rfc822Name (email) constraints are present, attacker-controlled casing differences in the leaf certificate SAN can cause a false accept (policy bypass) where the certificate should be rejected.
