Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation for a QUIC connection under certain conditions, when built to use wolfSSL. A remote attacker can force the application to ignore the certificate and perform MitM attack.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the used wolfSSL library was built with the OPENSSL_COMPATIBLE_DEFAULTS symbol set, which is not set for the recommended configure --enable-curl builds.
