Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0139)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

cURL and libcurl 7.1 before 7.36.0, when using the OpenSSL, axtls, qsossl or gskit libraries for TLS, recognize a wildcard IP address in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.
