gnutls26, gnutls28 vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 15.04
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
GnuTLS could be made to expose sensitive information over the network.
Software Description:
– gnutls28: GNU TLS library
– gnutls26: GNU TLS library
Details:
Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan Leurent discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly
allowed MD5 to be used for TLS 1.2 connections. If a remote attacker were
able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to
view sensitive information.
