CVE-2012-1569 severity moderate: SUSE including 74 source package names (gnutls-2.4.1-24.39.45.1, gnutls-2.4.1-24.39.55.1, …), 117 product×package rows across 30 product lines (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1, … (30 product lines)): Fixed 117.

Description:

The asn1_get_length_der function in decoding.c in GNU Libtasn1 before 2.12, as used in GnuTLS before 3.0.16 and other products, does not properly handle certain large length values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ASN.1 structure.
