CVE-2009-0653

Publication date 20 February 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

OpenSSL, probably 0.9.6, does not verify the Basic Constraints for an intermediate CA-signed certificate, which allows remote attackers to spoof the certificates of trusted sites via a man-in-the-middle attack, a related issue to CVE-2002-0970.
