Algorithmic Complexity Affecting gnutls28 package, versions * 0.0 medium 0 10 Snyk's Security Team recommends NVD's CVSS assessment. Learn more Threat Intelligence EPSS The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version.

Introduced: 9 Feb 2026 New CVE-2025-14831 (opens in a new tab) Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) are common identifiers for publicly known security vulnerabilities CWE-407 (opens in a new tab) Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) is a category system for software weaknesses How to fix? There is no fixed version for Debian:11 gnutls28 . NVD Description Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnutls28 package and not the gnutls28 package as distributed by Debian . See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status. A flaw was found in GnuTLS. This vulnerability allows a denial of service (DoS) by excessive CPU (Central Processing Unit) and memory consumption via specially crafted malicious certificates containing a large number of name constraints and subject alternative names (SANs).

Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). Network Attack Complexity (AC) Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success when attacking the vulnerable component. Low Privileges Required (PR) The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack. None User Interaction (UI) The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any user. None Scope (S) An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority. Unchanged Confidentiality (C) There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component. None Integrity (I) There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component. None Availability (A) Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
