Descriptions

istream.c in w3m 0.5.2 and possibly other versions, when ssl_verify_server is enabled, does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the (1) subject's Common Name or (2) 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, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.

istream.c en w3m v0.5.2 y posiblemente otras versiones, cuando ssl_verify_server está activado, no maneja adecuadamente el carácter '\0' en un nombre de dominio en el (1) subject's Common Name o (2) Subject Alternative Name field de un certificado X.509, lo que permite a atacantes en el medio (Man-in-the-middle) suplantar a servidores SSL a través de certificados manipulados enviados por una Autoridad de Certificación legítima. Tema relacionado con el CVE-2009-2408.
