## Description

Internet2 Shibboleth Service Provider software 1.3.x before 1.3.3 and 2.x
before 2.2.1, when using PKIX trust validation, does not properly handle a
'\0' character in the subject or subjectAltName fields of a certificate,
which allows remote man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL
servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification
Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
