[gnutls-help] gnutls 3.8.9

[Daiki Ueno]

Hello,

We have just released gnutls-3.8.9. This is a bug fix and enhancement
release on the 3.8.x branch.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed in this release:
Angel Yankov, Daiki Ueno, David Dudas, Loganaden Velvindron, Maxim
Cournoyer, pohsingwu, Sahil Siddiq, Stanislav Zidek, and Zoltan
Fridrich.

The detailed list of changes follows:

* Version 3.8.9 (released 2025-02-07)

** libgnutls: leancrypto was added as an interim option for PQC
   The library can now be built with leancrypto instead of liboqs for
   post-quantum cryptography (PQC), when configured with
   --with-leancrypto option instead of --with-liboqs.

** libgnutls: Experimental support for ML-DSA signature algorithm
   The library and certtool now support ML-DSA signature algorithm as
   defined in FIPS 204 and based on
   draft-ietf-lamps-dilithium-certificates-04. This feature is
   currently marked as experimental and can only be enabled when
   compiled with --with-leancrypto or --with-liboqs.
   Contributed by David Dudas.

** libgnutls: Support for ML-KEM-1024 key encapsulation mechanism
   The support for ML-KEM post-quantum key encapsulation mechanisms
   has been extended to cover ML-KEM-1024, in addition to ML-KEM-768.
   MLKEM1024 is only offered as SecP384r1MLKEM1024 hybrid as per
   draft-kwiatkowski-tls-ecdhe-mlkem-03.

** libgnutls: Fix potential DoS in handling certificates with numerous name
   constraints, as a follow-up of CVE-2024-12133 in libtasn1. The
   bundled copy of libtasn1 has also been updated to the latest 4.20.0
   release to complete the fix.  Reported by Bing Shi (#1553).
   [GNUTLS-SA-2025-02-07, CVSS: medium] [CVE-2024-12243]
