gnutls 3.3.14 fixes a double-free in parsing CRL distribution points. It will affect applications which parse CRL distribution points or print contents of certificates with gnutls-provided functions (e.g. gnutls_x509_crt_print()) Usually a DoS under modern mem allocators, but creating something more interesting using double-free exploitation techniques is not out of the question changelists: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/commit/d6972be33264ecc49a86cd0958209cd7363af1e9 https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/commit/053ae65403216acdb0a4e78b25ad66ee9f444f02 -- Robert Święcki lib/x509/x509_ext.c @@ -2360,7 +2360,6 @@ int gnutls_x509_ext_import_crl_dist_points(const gnutls_datum_t * ext, if (ret < 0 && ret != GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE) { gnutls_assert(); - gnutls_free(san.data); goto cleanup; }
