DescriptionNVD

A flaw was found in gnutls. This vulnerability occurs because gnutls performs case-sensitive comparisons of nameConstraints labels, specifically for dNSName (DNS) or rfc822Name (email) constraints within excludedSubtrees or permittedSubtrees. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a leaf certificate with casing differences in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN), leading to a policy bypass where a certificate that should be rejected is instead accepted. This could result in unauthorized access or information disclosure.

AnalysisAI

GnuTLS performs case-sensitive comparisons of nameConstraints labels in DNS and email certificate constraints, allowing remote attackers to bypass certificate policy validation by crafting leaf certificates with differing character casing in the Subject Alternative Name field. This policy bypass could result in acceptance of certificates that should be rejected, potentially enabling unauthorized access or information disclosure. …
