Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A vulnerability in mod_gnutls allows remote attackers to spoof clients
via crafted certificates.

Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

mod_gnutls is an extension for =E2=80=8BApache's httpd. It uses the =E2=80=
=8BGnuTLS
library to provide HTTPS. It supports some protocols and features that
mod_ssl does not.

Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  www-apache/mod_gnutls        < 0.7.3                    >=3D
 0.7.3=20

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

It was discovered that the authentication hook in mod_gnutls does not
validate client's certificates even when option
 "GnuTLSClientVerify" is
set to "require".

Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A remote attacker could present a crafted certificate and spoof clients
data.

Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All mod_gnutls users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
 ">=3Dwww-apache/mod_gnutls-0.7.3"
