Descriptions

GnuTLS before 2.9.10 does not verify the activation and expiration dates of CA certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a certificate issued by a CA certificate that is (1) not yet valid or (2) no longer valid.

Vulnerabilidad en GnuTLS en versiones anteriores a 2.9.10, no verifica las fechas de activación y expiración de certificados CA, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle suplantar servidores a través de un certificado expedido por un certificado CA que (1) aún no es válido o (2) ya no es válido.

It was found that GnuTLS did not check activation and expiration dates of CA certificates. This could cause an application using GnuTLS to incorrectly accept a certificate as valid when its issuing CA is already expired.
