[GLSA-200609-15] GnuTLS: RSA Signature Forgery

Vulnerability Assessment Summary GnuTLS: RSA Signature Forgery Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200609-15 (GnuTLS: RSA Signature Forgery) verify.c fails to properly handle excess data in digestAlgorithm.parameters field while generating a hash when using an RSA key with exponent 3. RSA keys that use exponent 3 are commonplace. Impact Remote attackers could forge PKCS #1 v1.5 signatures that are signed with an RSA key, preventing GnuTLS from correctly verifying X.509 and other certificates that use PKCS. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
