CVE-2021-4209 MEDIUM

Published: 2022-08-24 | Last Modified: 2024-11-21 | Status: Modified

Description

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in GnuTLS. As Nettle's hash update functions internally call memcpy, providing zero-length input may cause undefined behavior. This flaw leads to a denial of service after authentication in rare circumstances.
