The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2015-329:01 advisory.

    GnuTLS is a project that aims to develop a library which provides a secure     layer, over a reliable transport layer. Currently the GnuTLS library implements     the proposed standards by the IETF's TLS working group.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-8155     CVE-2015-0282     CVE-2015-0294     Fixed bugs:
    * Previously, under certain circumstances, the certtool utility could generate     X.509 certificates which contained a negative modulus. Consequently, such     certificates could have interoperation problems with the software using them.
    With this update, the bug has been fixed.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

gnutls was updated to fix a security issue :

A certificate algorithm consistency checking issue was fixed (CVE-2015-0294).

Updated gnutls packages that fix three security issues and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The GnuTLS library provides support for cryptographic algorithms and for protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS).

It was found that GnuTLS did not check activation and expiration dates of CA certificates. This could cause an application using GnuTLS to incorrectly accept a certificate as valid when its issuing CA is already expired. (CVE-2014-8155)

It was found that GnuTLS did not verify whether a hashing algorithm listed in a signature matched the hashing algorithm listed in the certificate. An attacker could create a certificate that used a different hashing algorithm than it claimed, possibly causing GnuTLS to use an insecure, disallowed hashing algorithm during certificate verification. (CVE-2015-0282)

It was discovered that GnuTLS did not check if all sections of X.509 certificates indicate the same signature algorithm. This flaw, in combination with a different flaw, could possibly lead to a bypass of the certificate signature check. (CVE-2015-0294)

The CVE-2014-8155 issue was discovered by Marcel Kolaja of Red Hat.
The CVE-2015-0282 and CVE-2015-0294 issues were discovered by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos of the Red Hat Security Technologies Team.

This update also fixes the following bug :

* Previously, under certain circumstances, the certtool utility could generate X.509 certificates which contained a negative modulus.
Consequently, such certificates could have interoperation problems with the software using them. The bug has been fixed, and certtool no longer generates X.509 certificates containing a negative modulus.
(BZ#1036385)

Users of gnutls are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2540-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GnuTLS did not perform date and time checks on CA certificates, contrary to     expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-8155)

    Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly verified that signature algorithms matched. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to downgrade to a disallowed algorithm. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-0282)

gnutls was updated to fix a certificate algorithm consistency checking issue. (CVE-2015-0294)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
