CVE-2016-7444 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 gnutls-dane to version 0:3.3.26-9.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2017:2292.
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 RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The gnutls_ocsp_resp_check_crt function in lib/x509/ocsp.c in GnuTLS before 3.4.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 does not verify the serial length of an OCSP response, which might allow remote attackers to bypass an intended certificate validation mechanism via vectors involving trailing bytes left by gnutls_malloc.
