Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2014-0092
DESCRIPTION:
GnuTLS could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by
an error when verifying unspecified certificates. By persuading a victim to
visit a specially-crafted Web site, an attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to bypass certificate validation checks and gain access to the
system.

CVEID: CVE-2009-5138
DESCRIPTION:
GnuTLS could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by
the acceptance of version 1 X.509 certificates as intermediate CAs when using
default certificate verification settings. By persuading a victim to visit a
specially-crafted Web site, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to
generate certificates for other hosts or users that would be accepted by GnuTLS.
