Vulnerability details

A vulnerability was found in GnuTLS, where a cockpit (which uses gnuTLS) rejects a certificate chain with distributed trust. This issue occurs when validating a certificate chain with cockpit-certificate-ensure. This flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote client or attacker to initiate…

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
Why these techniques?

CVE-2024-0567 in GnuTLS (used by Cockpit) enables remote unauthenticated denial of service via improper rejection of certificate chains with distributed trust during validation, facilitating application exploitation for endpoint DoS.

Mitigating Controls

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-347

Requires verification of digital signatures using organization-approved certificates before installation, directly preventing improper verification of cryptographic signatures.

addresses: CWE-347

Component authenticity commonly depends on cryptographic signatures; the control enforces proper verification of those signatures.

addresses: CWE-347

PKI certificates under an approved policy require cryptographic signature verification on issuance and validation.

addresses: CWE-347

Requires cryptographic signatures on authoritative data and support for verifying the chain of trust.

addresses: CWE-347

Mandates verification of cryptographic signatures (e.g., DNSSEC RRSIG) on resolution responses, addressing missing or bypassed signature checks.

addresses: CWE-347

Integrity tools commonly rely on cryptographic signatures whose improper validation this weakness covers.

addresses: CWE-347

Authenticity validation commonly relies on cryptographic signature or certificate checks that this control enforces.
