Vulnerability Summary for CVE-2016-7444
Original release date: 09/27/2016
Last revised: 09/28/2016
Source: US-CERT/NIST
Overview

The gnutls_ocsp_resp_check_crt function in lib/x509/ocsp.c in GnuTLS
before 3.4.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 does not verify the serial length
of an OCSP response, which might allow remote attackers to bypass an
intended certificate validation mechanism via vectors involving trailing
bytes left by gnutls_malloc.


https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2016-7444 lists all 
versions pre 3.4.15 as vulnerable so 26 (2.12) should be assumed to be 
vulnerable. 
https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2016-7444 lists 
gnutls28 as vulnerable but does not mention gnutls26.

** Affects: gnutls26 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public
