CVE-2014-3607: Hostname verification susceptible to MITM attack

January 8, 2018 (updated January 31, 2018)

The implementation used this package to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in the subject’s CN field was flawed. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where the attacker can spoof a valid certificate using a specially crafted subject.
