Description

gnutls28 vulnerabilities It was discovered that GnuTLS had a timing side-channel when processing malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to recover sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-0553) Bing Shi discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled decoding certain DER-encoded certificates. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-12243) Luigino Camastra discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled certain PKCS11 token labels. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. (CVE-2025-9820) Tim Scheckenbach discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled malicious certificates containing a large number of name constraints and subject alternative names. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2025-14831) Oleh Konko and Joshua Rogers discovered that GnuTLS did not properly handle case-insensitive name constraints in certain cases. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certificate validation, leading to a machine-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2026-3833) Joshua Rogers discovered that GnuTLS did not properly handle very short premaster secrets in certain RSA key exchange cases with PKCS#11-backed server keys. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-5260) Joshua Rogers discovered that GnuTLS did not properly handle malformed DTLS handshake fragments in certain cases. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information, or cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-33845) Haruto Kimura, Oscar Reparaz, and Zou Dikai discovered that GnuTLS did not properly validate DTLS handshake fragment lengths in certain cases. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-33846) Joshua Rogers discovered that GnuTLS did not properly order DTLS packets with duplicate sequence numbers in certain cases. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-42009) Joshua Rogers discovered that GnuTLS did not properly handle usernames containing NUL characters in certain RSA-PSK configurations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication and gain unintended access to services. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-42010)
