CVE-2025-32988 is a double-free vulnerability in GnuTLS caused by incorrect ownership handling during export of Subject Alternative Name entries that contain an otherName value. When processing a SAN otherName whose type-id OID is invalid or malformed, GnuTLS may invoke asn1_delete_structure() on an ASN.1 node it does not own. The same structure may then later be released again by the parent routine or caller, creating a double-free condition. The flaw is reachable through public GnuTLS APIs and can be triggered by crafted certificate-related input that causes the malformed otherName processing path to execute.
