Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in GnuTLS, which can potentially be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error when an application calls "gnutls_handshake()" for an already valid session and can potentially be exploited, e.g. during re-handshakes.
NOTE: Execution of arbitrary code has not been proven, but cannot be completely ruled out.
The vulnerability is reported in version 2.3.5. through 2.4.0.
