NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgnutls30 package and not the libgnutls30 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in GnuTLS before 3.6.15. A server can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in a TLS 1.3 client if a no_renegotiation alert is sent with unexpected timing, and then an invalid second handshake occurs. The crash happens in the application's error handling path, where the gnutls_deinit function is called after detecting a handshake failure.
