CVE-2013-4314

Publication date 9 September 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The X509Extension in pyOpenSSL before 0.13.1 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.
