Subject: [PATCH 0/1] curl: Fix CVE-2016-3739.
Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2016 23:38:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1465702340.git.leo@famulari.name> (raw)
If your SSL / TLS provider is mbedTLS (formerly PolarSSL), there is a
bug in curl [CVE-2016-3739] that allows an attacker to bypass the full
certificate check by presenting any valid certificate.
So, you might think are connecting to https://example.com, when in fact
the attacker has a certificate for any other domain.
We don't package mbedTLS, but I still think we should provide the fixed
source code.
