Summary
gnutls28 vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-4209)

It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled the verification of certain pkcs7 signatures. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2509)
