Joonas Kuorilehto discovered that GNU TLS performed insufficient
validation of session IDs during TLS/SSL handshakes. A malicious
server could use this to execute arbitrary code or perform denial
or service.

Unfortunately, I still do not get any update for gnutls26, although the
update should be available now, according to the recent e-mail by Moritz
Muehlenhoff.

the lts packages are distributed through standard mirrors, where higher delays can occur than on security.debian.org...

Furthermore, I wonder how serious this problem is. The above
announcement suggests that it only affects connections where the squeeze
machine acts as a SSL/TLS client. Is this the case, or is the squeeze
machine also vulnerable if it runs servers that support SSL/TLS? And are
there generally any know exploits of this vulnerability?

no idea on this issue...
