Comment 1 Ratul Gupta 2013-11-01 07:04:06 UTC 
Created gnutls tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1025638]
Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2013-11-05 21:10:27 UTC 
This CVE is for an incorrect fix for CVE-2013-4466 (see bug 1022913).  It contained an off-by-one error, causing it to possibly write 5 entries to 4 slot arrays in dane_query_st / dane_query_t.  Problem is already mentioned in bug 1022913 comment 7.

Acknowledment:

This issue was discovered by Tomas Mraz of Red Hat.
Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2013-11-05 21:11:46 UTC 
Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of gnutls as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 as they did not include support for DANE protocol.
