Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when validating OCSP response within the OCSP_basic_verify function. In the case where the (non-default) flag OCSP_NOCHECKS is used then the
response will be positive (meaning a successful verification) even in
the case where the response signing certificate fails to verify. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.
