Dr. Volker Zell,

gnutls 2.8.6 is susceptible to CVE-2009-3555.  This has been fixed since
2.10.0, but the current stable releases are 2.12.11 (ABI-compatible with
2.8.6) and 3.0.4 (which breaks ABI compatibility).  For now, please
release 2.12.11 ASAP for all the apps currently dependent on
libgnutls26.


Yaakov

Is Dr. Volker Zell still active?  The last post I can find from him
was from June of last year:

I had a short mail exchange with Volker in August.  He had some private
problems to deal with.  He wrote he would catch up at one point.

Volker, I CCed you so you can chime in, ok?


Thanks,
Corinna
