Description Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-03-31 11:25:04 UTC 
Quote from upstream's security advisory:

It was found that GnuTLS 3.6.3 introduced a regression in the DTLS protocol implementation. This caused the DTLS client to not contribute any randomness to the DTLS negotiation breaking the security guarantees of the DTLS protocol.

Recommendation: To address the issue found upgrade to GnuTLS 3.6.13 or later versions.

@maintainer(s), this isn't a great vulnerability at all, so are we alright to stabilise now? 

Thanks for super quick bump and report by the way.
