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.

Buffer overflow in the read_server_hello function in lib/gnutls_handshake.c in GnuTLS before 3.1.25, 3.2.x before 3.2.15, and 3.3.x before 3.3.4 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long session id in a ServerHello message.
