Insecure digital certificates In gnutls

Description

It was found that GnuTLS did not verify whether a hashing algorithm listed in a signature matched the hashing algorithm listed in the certificate. An attacker could create a certificate that used a different hashing algorithm than it claimed, possibly causing GnuTLS to use an insecure, disallowed hashing algorithm during certificate verification.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
