Descriptions

Botan 2.2.0 - 2.4.0 (fixed in 2.5.0) improperly handled wildcard certificates and could accept certain certificates as valid for hostnames when, under RFC 6125 rules, they should not match. This only affects certificates issued to the same domain as the host, so to impersonate a host one must already have a wildcard certificate matching other hosts in the same domain. For example, b*.example.com would match some hostnames that do not begin with a 'b' character.

Botan 2.2.0 - 2.4.0 (solucionado en 2.5.0) gestionaba de manera incorrecta certificados wildcard y podría aceptar determinados certificados como válidos para nombres de hosts cuando, bajo las reglas RFC 6125, no deberían coincidir. Esto solo afecta a certificados emitidos al mismo dominio que el host, por lo que para suplantar un host el certificado wildcard tiene que coincidir con otros hosts en el mismo dominio. Por ejemplo, b*.ejemplo.com coincidiría con algunos nombres de host que no empiezan por "b".
