Summary
Moderate: gnutls security update
Details
The gnutls packages provide the GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) library, which implements cryptographic algorithms and protocols such as SSL, TLS, and DTLS.
Security Fix(es):
- gnutls: Stack-based Buffer Overflow in gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() Function (CVE-2025-9820)
- gnutls: GnuTLS: Denial of Service via excessive resource consumption during certificate verification (CVE-2025-14831)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Title
Gnutls: stack-based buffer overflow in gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() function
Summary
A flaw was found in the GnuTLS library, specifically in the gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() function that handles PKCS#11 token initialization. When a token label longer than expected is processed, the function writes past the end of a fixed-size stack buffer. This programming error can cause the application using GnuTLS to crash or, in certain conditions, be exploited for code execution. As a result, systems or applications relying on GnuTLS may be vulnerable to a denial of service or local privilege escalation attacks.
