Summary

The remote host is missing an update as announced via advisory SSA:2008-320-01.

Insight

Insight

New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and -current to correctly fix the certificate chain verification issue that the upgrade to gnutls-2.6.1 attempted to fix. Without this upgrade, processing a certificate chain containing only one self-signed certificate may cause GnuTLS linked programs to crash.

Solution

Solution

Upgrade to the new package(s).
