+Subject: [PATCH] datum, mem, str: add helper functions to steal pointers
+
+This introduces 3 new inline functions, namely _gnutls_steal_datum,
+_gnutls_steal_buffer, and _gnutls_steal_pointer, to return a copy of
+data structure and reset the original pointer. Those would enable to
+return a populated data structure upon success; otherwise free the
+partially filled data structure in a single code path, e.g.,
+
+```c
+  gnutls_datum_t tmp_result = { NULL, 0 };
+
+  // Calculate tmp_result
+  ...
+  if (error)
+    goto cleanup;
+
+  // Propagate tmp_result to *result
+  *result = _gnutls_steal_datum(&tmp_result);
+
+cleanup:
+  _gnutls_free_datum(&tmp_result);
+  return ret;
+```

+Subject: [PATCH] x509/hostname-verify: make URI/SRV SAN preclude CN fallback
+
+URI/SRV SAN did not suppress CN fallback as required by RFC 6125 6.4.4:
+> a client MUST NOT seek a match for a reference identifier of CN-ID
+> if the presented identifiers include a DNS-ID, *SRV-ID*, *URI-ID*,
+> or any application-specific identifier types supported by the client.
+
+With this change, certificates containing URI or SRV SAN
+no longer pass DNS hostname checks via CN fallback
+to avoid potential misuse of such certificates
+beyond their original purpose.
+
