Verifying Certificates with large amout of name constraints and subject alternative names makes GnuTLS vulnerable to DoS attacks When trying to verify a certificate chain using the certtool --verify command, with certificates, that contain a larger number of SANs and Name Constraints, GnuTLS tries to verify all of them, without any bound on the quantity of those fields. Using those crafted malicious certificate, GnuTLS is vulnerable to DoS attacks by excessive usage of CPU and memory.
