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 Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer signedness error in the _gnutls_ciphertext2compressed function in lib/gnutls_cipher.c in libgnutls in GnuTLS before 2.2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and crash) via a certain integer value in the Random field in an encrypted Client Hello message within a TLS record with an invalid Record Length, which leads to an invalid cipher padding length, aka GNUTLS-SA-2008-1-3.
