NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnutls-devel package and not the gnutls-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The _gnutls_ciphertext2compressed function in lib/gnutls_cipher.c in GnuTLS 2.12.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and crash) via a crafted padding length. NOTE: this might be due to an incorrect fix for CVE-2013-0169.
