Description

A flaw was found in gnutls. Servers configured with RSA-PSK (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman – Pre-Shared Key) wrongfully matched usernames containing a NUL character with truncated usernames.

This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access by circumventing the authentication process.
