Descriptions

The (1) mbed_connect_step1 function in lib/vtls/mbedtls.c and (2) polarssl_connect_step1 function in lib/vtls/polarssl.c in cURL and libcurl before 7.49.0, when using SSLv3 or making a TLS connection to a URL that uses a numerical IP address, allow remote attackers to spoof servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.

Las funciones (1) mbed_connect_step1 en lib/vtls/mbedtls.c y (2) polarssl_connect_step1 en lib/vtls/polarssl.c en cURL y libcurl en versiones anteriores 7.49.0, cuando usan SSLv3 o hacen una conexión TSL a una URL que usa una dirección IP numérica, permiten a atacantes remotos engañar a los servidores a través de un certificado arbitrario válido.
