Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-34073)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certificate name constraints validation.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation in the X.509 certificate validation logic when validating a peer name against a wildcard SAN certificate chain. A remote attacker can present a crafted certificate chain to bypass certificate name constraints validation.
Exploitation requires an uncommon X.509 topology involving an excluded subtree constraint that matches the peer name.
