Hi

GnuTLS 3.4.13 was released addressing GNUTLS-SA-2016-1,
http://gnutls.org/security.html#GNUTLS-SA-2016-1 :

Setuid programs using GnuTLS 3.4.12 could potentially allow an
attacker to overwrite and corrupt arbitrary files in the filesystem.
This issue was introduced in GnuTLS 3.4.12 and fixed in GnuTLS 3.4.13.
Recommendation: Upgrade to GnuTLS 3.4.13, or later versions.

The relevant upstream commits seem to be:

Can you assign a CVE for this issue?
