A recently discovered bug in the GnuTLS cryptographic code library puts users of Linux and hundreds of other open source packages at risk of surreptitious malware attacks until they incorporate a fix developers quietly pushed out late last week.

There's a patch and so far there are no reports of in the wild attacks. I'd get the patch though if you're affected.
