It was found that GnuTLS did not check activation and expiration dates of CA certificates. This could cause an application using GnuTLS to incorrectly accept a certificate as valid when its issuing CA is already expired. (CVE-2014-8155)

It was found that GnuTLS did not verify whether a hashing algorithm listed in a signature matched the hashing algorithm listed in the certificate. An attacker could create a certificate that used a different hashing algorithm than it claimed, possibly causing GnuTLS to use an insecure, disallowed hashing algorithm during certificate verification. (CVE-2015-0282)

It was discovered that GnuTLS did not check if all sections of X.509 certificates indicate the same signature algorithm. This flaw, in combination with a different flaw, could possibly lead to a bypass of the certificate signature check. (CVE-2015-0294)

The CVE-2014-8155 issue was discovered by Marcel Kolaja of Red Hat.
The CVE-2015-0282 and CVE-2015-0294 issues were discovered by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos of the Red Hat Security Technologies Team.

This update also fixes the following bug :

  - Previously, under certain circumstances, the certtool     utility could generate X.509 certificates which     contained a negative modulus. Consequently, such     certificates could have interoperation problems with the     software using them. The bug has been fixed, and     certtool no longer generates X.509 certificates     containing a negative modulus.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2540-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GnuTLS did not perform date and time checks on CA certificates, contrary to     expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-8155)

    Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly verified that signature algorithms matched. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to downgrade to a disallowed algorithm. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-0282)

    It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly verified certificate algorithms. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to downgrade to a disallowed algorithm. (CVE-2015-0294)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2015-329:01 advisory.

    GnuTLS is a project that aims to develop a library which provides a secure     layer, over a reliable transport layer. Currently the GnuTLS library implements     the proposed standards by the IETF's TLS working group.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-8155     CVE-2015-0282     CVE-2015-0294     Fixed bugs:
    * Previously, under certain circumstances, the certtool utility could generate     X.509 certificates which contained a negative modulus. Consequently, such     certificates could have interoperation problems with the software using them.
    With this update, the bug has been fixed.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - GnuTLS before 3.3.13 does not validate that the signature algorithms match when importing a certificate.
    (CVE-2015-0294)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GnuTLS, a library implementing the TLS and SSL protocols. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

CVE-2014-8155

Missing date/time checks on CA certificates

CVE-2015-0282

GnuTLS does not verify the RSA PKCS #1 signature algorithm to match the signature algorithm in the certificate, leading to a potential downgrade to a disallowed algorithm without detecting it.

CVE-2015-0294

GnuTLS does not check whether the two signature algorithms match on certificate import.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

GnuTLS was updated to fix two security issues :

  - A certificate algorithm consistency checking issue was     fixed, where GnuTLS did not check whether the two     signature algorithms match on certificate import. This     problem is not deemed to be exploitable currently.
    (CVE-2015-0294)

  - GNUTLS-SA-2015-1: GnuTLS did not verify the RSA PKCS #1     signature algorithm to match the signature algorithm in     the certificate, leading to a potential downgrade to a     disallowed algorithm, such as MD5, without detecting it.
    (CVE-2015-0282)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-1457 advisory.

    - fix CVE-2015-0282 (#1198159)
    - fix CVE-2015-0294 (#1198159)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

  - fix CVE-2015-0282 (#1198159)
