[slackware-security]  gnutls (SSA:2008-320-01)

New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and -current to
correctly fix the certificate chain verification issue that the upgrade to
gnutls-2.6.1 attempted to fix.  Without this upgrade, processing a certificate
chain containing only one self-signed certificate may cause GnuTLS linked
programs to crash.


Here are the details from the Slackware 12.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/gnutls-2.6.2-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz:
  Upgraded to gnutls-2.6.2.
  The security fix in gnutls-2.6.1 had a flaw in cases where the
  certificate chain contained only one self-signed certificate.
  This update fixes the issue.

Where to find the new packages:

HINT:  Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try.  This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)

Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
