[Help-gnutls] GnuTLS 1.3.4 - Experimental - Security release

[Simon Josefsson]

This release solves the DER security issue on the experimental branch
too.  It contains a few other fixes too.

GnuTLS is a modern C library that implement the standard network
security protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), for use by network
applications.

Noteworthy changes since version 1.3.3:
- Fix read of out bounds bug in DER parser.
Reported by Evgeny Legerov <address@hidden>, and debugging help from
Protover SSL.  Libtasn1 0.2.18 is now required, which contains the
previous bug fix.  The included libtasn1 version in GnuTLS has been
updated.

- Fixed bug in non-blocking gnutls_bye(). gnutls_record_send() will no 
longer invalidate a session if the underlying send fails, but it will 
prevent future writes. That is to allow reading the already received data.
Patches and bug reports by Yoann Vandoorselaere <address@hidden>

- Corrected bugs in gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl() and
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust(), that caused memory corruption if 
more than one certificates were added. Report and patch by Max Kellermann.

- Fix build problems of OpenCDK on AIX.
Thanks to "Heiden, John" <address@hidden>.

- API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.

Improving GnuTLS is costly, but you can help!  We are looking for
organizations that find GnuTLS useful and wish to contribute back.
You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate
money or equipment.

Commercial support contracts for GnuTLS are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance.  Simon Josefsson Datakonsult, a
Stockholm based privately held company, is currently funding GnuTLS
maintenance.  We are always looking for interesting development
projects.
