Doc Text:
A flaw was found in gnutls. Servers configured with RSA-PSK (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman – Pre-Shared Key) wrongfully matched usernames containing a NUL character with truncated usernames. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted username, leading to an authentication bypass. This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access by circumventing the authentication process.

libgnutls: 
   Servers configured with RSA-PSK have wrongfully matched usernames with NUL
   character in them to ones truncated to NUL character,
   which could lead to an authentication bypass.
   Fix the check to perform comparison up to the full username length.
