CVE-2011-4318
Published: 18 November 2011
Dovecot 2.0.x before 2.0.16, when ssl or starttls is enabled and hostname is used to define the proxy destination, does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a valid certificate for a different hostname.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| jdstrand | SSL proxy connections were added in some Dovecot v1.x versions, but but v1.x doesn't support giving hostname as proxy destination, only IP address. (per upstream) |
