Linux users at risk as ANOTHER critical GnuTLS bug found
Patch! Patch! Patch!
By Darren Pauli, 4 Jun 2014
The GNUtls woes continue, with another critical flaw discovered and patched after researchers worked out malicious servers could hijack users of the cryptographic library.

Red Hat engineer Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos, who issued a patch for the flaw (CVE-2014-3466) Saturday, shortly after it was reported 28 May by Codenomicon researcher Joonas Kuorilehto.


Users of other affected software will have to sit tight until their developers incorporate the fix. Until then, they'll remain open to malware attacks.
