LIN1024-15008 : Security Advisory - gnutls - CVE-2025-9820

Created: Jan 26, 2026    Updated: Jan 29, 2026
Found In Version: 10.24.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 24
Component/s: Userspace

Description

A flaw was found in the GnuTLS library, specifically in the gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() function that handles PKCS#11 token initialization. When a token label longer than expected is processed, the function writes past the end of a fixed-size stack buffer. This programming error can cause the application using GnuTLS to crash or, in certain conditions, be exploited for code execution. As a result, systems or applications relying on GnuTLS may be vulnerable to a denial of service or local privilege escalation attacks.
