User Rating:      How can I rate this item?
Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake Flaws discovered in versions prior to 2.2.4 (stable) and 2.3.10 (development) of GnuTLS allow an attacker to cause denial of service (application crash), and maybe (so far undetermined) execute arbitrary code. The updated packages have been patched to fix these flaws. Note that any applications using this library must be restarted for the update to take effect.
