Log Message:
gnutls: update to 3.6.12.
* Version 3.6.12 (released 2020-02-01)
** libgnutls: Introduced TLS session flag (gnutls_session_get_flags())
to identify sessions that client request OCSP status request (#829).
** libgnutls: Added support for X448 key exchange (RFC 7748) and Ed448
signature algorithm (RFC 8032) under TLS (#86).
** libgnutls: Added the default-priority-string option to system configuration;
it allows overriding the compiled-in default-priority-string.
** libgnutls: Added support for GOST CNT_IMIT ciphersuite (as defined by
draft-smyshlyaev-tls12-gost-suites-07).
By default this ciphersuite is disabled. It can be enabled by adding
+GOST to priority string. In the future this priority string may enable
other GOST ciphersuites as well. Note, that server will fail to negotiate
GOST ciphersuites if TLS 1.3 is enabled both on a server and a client. It
is recommended for now to disable TLS 1.3 in setups where GOST ciphersuites
are enabled on GnuTLS-based servers.
** libgnutls: added priority shortcuts for different GOST categories like
CIPHER-GOST-ALL, MAC-GOST-ALL, KX-GOST-ALL, SIGN-GOST-ALL, GROUP-GOST-ALL.
** libgnutls: Reject certificates with invalid time fields. That is we reject
certificates with invalid characters in Time fields, or invalid time formatting
To continue accepting the invalid form compile with --disable-strict-der-time
(#207, #870).
** libgnutls: Reject certificates which contain duplicate extensions. We were
previously printing warnings when printing such a certificate, but that is
not always sufficient to flag such certificates as invalid. Instead we now
refuse to import them (#887).
** libgnutls: If a CA is found in the trusted list, check in addition to
time validity, whether the algorithms comply to the expected level prior
to accepting it. This addresses the problem of accepting CAs which would
have been marked as insecure otherwise (#877).
** libgnutls: The min-verification-profile from system configuration applies
for all certificate verifications, not only under TLS. The configuration can
be overriden using the GNUTLS_SYSTEM_PRIORITY_FILE environment variable.
** libgnutls: The stapled OCSP certificate verification adheres to the convention
used throughout the library of setting the 'GNUTLS_CERT_INVALID' flag.
** libgnutls: On client side only send OCSP staples if they have been requested
by the server, and on server side always advertise that we support OCSP stapling
(#876).
** libgnutls: Introduced the gnutls_ocsp_req_const_t which is compatible
with gnutls_ocsp_req_t but const.
** certtool: Added the --verify-profile option to set a certificate
verification profile. Use '--verify-profile low' for certificate verification
to apply the 'NORMAL' verification profile.
** certtool: The add_extension template option is considered even when generating
a certificate from a certificate request.
** API and ABI modifications:
GNUTLS_SFLAGS_CLI_REQUESTED_OCSP: Added
GNUTLS_SFLAGS_SERV_REQUESTED_OCSP: Added
gnutls_ocsp_req_const_t: Added
