CVE-2013-0308

git < 1.8.1.3 - Man-in-the-Middle Attack via Improper Certificate Validation in imap-send

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The imap-send command in GIT before 1.8.1.4 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
