Description Tomas Hoger 2013-05-23 21:37:45 UTC 
A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS decrypted TLS record packets when using CBC encryption.  The number of pad bytes read form the packet was not checked against the cipher text size, resulting in an out of bounds read.  This could cause a TLS client or server using GnuTLS to crash.

This problem was introduced by a fix for Lucky 13 issue CVE-2013-1619, released in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 via RHSA-2013:0588:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0588.html

This issue did not affect GnuTLS 3.x which used different patch for Lucky 13, only patch for 2.x, which did not implement all protections to avoid leak of timing information, contains this bug.

Issue was reported on upstream mailing list:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/6753

Following patch was applied upstream:
https://gitorious.org/gnutls/gnutls/commit/5164d5a1d57cd0372a5dd074382ca960ca18b27d
