Descriptions

mutt_ssl.c in mutt 1.5.16 and other versions before 1.5.19, when OpenSSL is used, does not verify the domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.

En el archivo mutt_ssl.c en mutt versión 1.5.16 y otras versiones anteriores a 1.5.19, cuando es usado OpenSSL, no comprueba el nombre de dominio en el campo Common Name (CN) de un certificado X.509, que permite a los atacantes de tipo man-in-the-middle falsificar servidores SSL por medio de un certificado válido arbitrario.
