CVE-2008-2377
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.6)—
Use-after-free vulnerability in the _gnutls_handshake_hash_buffers_clear function in lib/gnutls_handshake.c in libgnutls in GnuTLS 2.3.5 through 2.4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via TLS transmission of data that is improperly used when the peer calls gnutls_handshake within a normal session, leading to attempted access to a deallocated libgcrypt handle.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
