NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnutls-dane package and not the gnutls-dane package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in gnutls. A remote attacker could exploit an issue in the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) packet reordering logic. The comparator function, responsible for ordering DTLS packets by sequence numbers, did not correctly handle packets with duplicate sequence numbers. This could lead to unstable packet ordering or undefined behavior, resulting in a denial of service.
