I might have observed the same bug, affecting libgnutls.so.26 or
libcurl-gnutls.so.4 or the combination of both, and seems to be
triggered by the remote side, crashing a zabbix monitoring system when
connecting to a single server.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

According to [1], calling the function with data=NULL seems forbidden.
It seems, that [2] is a similar report for curl. The upstream patch
seems to be announced in [3] as "gtls: fix NULL pointer dereference",
date "Fixed in 7.37.0 - May 21 2014"
