Synopsis
========

A regression in GnuTLS breaks the security guarantees of the DTLS
protocol.

Background
==========

GnuTLS is an Open Source implementation of the TLS and SSL protocols.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-libs/gnutls              < 3.6.13                  >= 3.6.13

Description
===========

It was discovered that DTLS client did not contribute any randomness to
the DTLS negotiation.

Impact
======

Please review the referenced advisory for details.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All GnuTLS users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/gnutls-3.6.13"
