==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Summary:

GnuTLS could be made to consume resources if it decoded specially crafted
certificates.

Software Description:
- gnutls28: GNU TLS library

Details:

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.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.10
libgnutls30t64 3.8.6-2ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
libgnutls30 3.7.3-4ubuntu1.6
