---------------
gnutls13 (2.0.4-1ubuntu2.6) hardy-security; urgency=low

  * SECURITY UPDATE: fix improper handling of '\0' in Common Name (CN) and
    Subject Alternative Name (SAN) in X.509 certificates (LP: #413136)
    - debian/patches/91_CVE-2009-2730.diff: verify length of CN and SAN
      are what we expect and error out if either contains an embedded \0.
      This fixed required updating _gnutls_hostname_compare() in
      lib/x509/rfc2818_hostname.c to support wide wildcard hostname matching.
      This is a backward compatible change and which only adds additional
      matching of hostnames.
    - CVE-2009-2730
