curl: null prefix vulnerability
| Package(s): | curl wget |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2009-2417
CVE-2009-2408
|
| Created: | August 14, 2009 |
Updated: | June 24, 2011 |
| Description: |
From the Red Hat alert:
Scott Cantor reported that cURL is affected by the previously published
"null prefix attack", caused by incorrect handling of NULL characters in
X.509 certificates. If an attacker is able to get a carefully-crafted
certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority, the attacker could
use the certificate during a man-in-the-middle attack and potentially
confuse cURL into accepting it by mistake.
The wget tool also suffers from the same vulnerability. |
