Descriptions

GNU Wget before 1.12 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Common Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle remote attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.

GNU Wget, en versiones anteriores a la 1.12 no maneja adecuadamente un caracter '\0' en un nombre de dominio, en el campo Common Name de una certificado X.509, lo cual permite a atacantes hombre-en-el-medio (man-in-the-middle) remotos suplantar servidores SSL a su elección a través de de un certificado manipulado expedido por una Autoridad de Certificación legítima, un tema relacionado con CVE-2009-2408.
