Last modified

CVE-2006-7239 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.54% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
