CVE-2013-2037

Publication date 2 May 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

httplib2 0.7.2, 0.8, and earlier, after an initial connection is made, 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.
