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).
