Descriptions

verify_certificate_identity in the OpenSSL extension in Ruby before 2.0.0 patchlevel 645, 2.1.x before 2.1.6, and 2.2.x before 2.2.2 does not properly validate hostnames, which allows remote attackers to spoof servers via vectors related to (1) multiple wildcards, (1) wildcards in IDNA names, (3) case sensitivity, and (4) non-ASCII characters.

La función Verified_certificate_identity en la extensión OpenSSL en Ruby versiones anteriores a 2.0.0 patchlevel 645, versiones 2.1.x anteriores a 2.1.6 y versiones 2.2.x anteriores 2.2.2, no comprueba apropiadamente los nombres de host, lo que permite a atacantes remotos falsificar servidores por medio de vectores relacionados con (1) múltiples wildcards, (1) wildcards en nombres IDNA, (3) sensibilidad a mayúsculas y minúsculas y (4) caracteres no ASCII.
