CVE-2006-7239

Published: 24 May 2010

The _gnutls_x509_oid2mac_algorithm function in lib/gnutls_algorithms.c in GnuTLS before 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted X.509 certificate that uses a hash algorithm that is not supported by GnuTLS, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

Notes

AuthorNote
jdstrand
gnutls11 doesn't have the affected code:
_gnutls_x509_oid2mac_algorithm located in lib/x509/common.c which compares to
#defines from x509.h, not a pointer
Hardy (gnutls13) and higher already have the corrected code
