Summary
The _gnutls_x509_oid2mac_algorithm function in lib/gnutls_algorithms.c in GnuTLS before 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted X.509 certificate that uses a hash algorithm that is not supported by GnuTLS, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
1.54% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 75% of all scored CVEs.
