Hi,

GNUTLS just posted a security adivsory which needs a CVE:

http://www.gnutls.org/security.html#GNUTLS-SA-2013-3
GNUTLS-SA-2013-3
Denial of service
This vulnerability affects the DANE library of gnutls 3.1.x and gnutls
3.2.x. A server that returns more 4 DANE entries could corrupt the memory
of a requesting client.  Recommendation: Upgrade to the latest gnutls
version (3.1.15 or 3.2.5)

Commit for 3.1:

this is non stable package, and not trivial changes since last, we should allow people to revert.
Comment 4 Chris Reffett (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2013-10-25 14:09:38 UTC
The fact that it's unstable means that there is the possibility of breakage. Leave it for a little while if you want, but the old versions do need to go.

to clarify - we want 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 go from tree, not 2.x
Comment 6 Chris Reffett (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2013-12-03 00:56:41 UTC
<3.2.5 seems to be gone from tree, closing.
