Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

lib/x509/verify.c in GnuTLS before 3.1.21 and 3.2.x before 3.2.11 treats version 1 X.509 certificates as intermediate CAs, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions by leveraging a X.509 V1 certificate from a trusted CA to issue new certificates.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
